I agee with Andrew.  There's not that much low hanging fruit.  People
review the old stuff from time to time.  There are a lot of really
hard bugs to fix.  I guess there are also a lot that we can't
reproduce and the submitter is MIA.  Those might be easier.  Ping them
if not reproducible, if no response in a month, we close.
