Interesting idea.  However, I believe that's more a job for the  
forthcoming "Links" block:

http://infrastructure.drupal.org/drupal.org-style-guide/prototype/modules_detail.html
(scroll down -- on that mockup, it's currently on the bottom, though  
the order of blocks on that page got changed)

Create "Links" block for project nodes
http://drupal.org/node/372027

Add a mechanism to store custom links per-project
http://drupal.org/node/425742

Again, as I understand it based on a brief conversation with Mark at  
DCDC, these "recent x" blocks are just meant to give people a sense of  
how much stuff is going on, not necessarily that people are expected  
to get much work done via those blocks.

That said, I'd love Mark and/or Leisa to jump in and help me out  
here. ;)
