Alas that's not so simple with most systems.
Only trac is good at that - providing a feed or statistics for recently
resolved and closed bugs, that is.

MantisBT requires the administrator to create a filter [1] and I don't
think it's even possible with the sourceforge tracker. SF.net provides
their own statistics but there's no feed for those.
If googlecode-issue-tracker can do it it's a feature well hidden.
I have not checked flyspray, bugzilla and debbugs.

so long,
