Artist Browser Filtering Suggestion

Description
Right now, the list of Artists in the browser contains a lot of junk, from my perspective. That is, an artist that I own only one compilation track by is listed just as prominently in the list as an artist that I own ten full albums by. Rhythmbox should be able to take a look at my collection and figure out which artists I have many tracks by, and which artists I have very few tracks by, and allow me to either remove the more obscure artists from the list or (even better) make the list tiered, with the artists I have many tracks/albums by (relative to the size of my collection) listed alphabetically first, the artists I have the least amount of music by listed alphabetically last, and the rest listed alphabetically in the middle. This would make it easier to browser for the artists I like best, as presumably these would be the artists I have the most music by. Ideally this would take into account the total duration of music by a given artist, rather than simply counting tracks, so that an album consisting of a single hour-long track (for instance) counts more than a single song on a compilation.
