I've pushed out a couple of new plugins recently....

Bulk Develop Settings allows you to pragmatically calculate and apply luminance noise reduction based upon a photo's ISO setting, and on any exposure boost done in post processing. Lightroom has a way to set the default noise reduction based upon the camera and ISO, but you have to set it individually for each ISO, but for me that involves many dozens of different ISO values, even for just one camera model.
