It would be especially nice if people wo *submitted* an issue tacker entry in the past would take up the role of a “issue steward”, that is: make sure the issue gets closed. - Is it still relevant? - Was it already fixed? - Is it really important? If nobody (and not you, either, cared for 8 months?) - Push people to help. Ask on the mailing list! Put together a team. Fix it. What is clear is that with 620 open issues, nothing will happen “automatically”. (thankfully one thing: after 12 month of inactivity, your issue gets auto-closed…) Marcus

Hello,

We have *a lot* (really a lot!!) half-finished, “discussion stopped in the middle” kind of issues on the issue tracker.

It would *really* be nice if people could check older issues and push for a conclusion!

It is *much* easier to finish issues for those who spend already time on it as opposed to someone reading and following the whole discussion.

We are at 622 open issues:
