However, in many cases, I think a vertical scale starting from zero would be more appropriate. I agree current scales are better to see the tendency, slope and such but most of the time, you're interested in "how any are left compared to last month?", "what percentages of bugs are triaged?" and this is not evident when viewing the plot with a scale which does not start from zero. The general rule I was taught is: always start a scale from the reference value (zero most of the time), unless you are comparing things. In this case, there is only one curve and it should start from zero IMHO.
I was taught the same, and tend to agree. I don't generate the graphs myself; if I did I'd probably have gone that way. On the other hand, having the graphs zoomed in makes it easier to spot daily fluctuations; for some graphs if we plotted from 0, the scale would be so huge that you'd not be able to see the effects of your bug work - it'd just be a solid red line across the top of the chart.
