[Python-Dev] Tracker cleanup report

[Daniel (ajax) Diniz]

Hi,
Here's a summary of what's been accomplished and what's almost done.
This kinda marks the end of this Bug Season for me, but I'd like to do
at least one more installment before PyCon.

We have closed 51 issues so far (sorry if I missed some):

*                   Barry
**********          Benjamin
**************      Daniel
*****               Georg
*                   Guilherme
*                   Hirokazu
*                   Marc-Andre
***                 Mark
**********          Martin
*                   Raymond
**                  Terry
**                  Victor

Thanks, guys!

There are about 20 Mac-related, 24 invalid/outdated and four IRIX
issues on the 'will be closed unless someone voices disagreement'
queue, so we have a good chance of totaling a hundred closed issues in
ten days.

I estimate to have updated about 400-500 issues in the last seven
days. I'm now nosy in 200 of these, that's karma for spamming
python-dev and python-bugs.

I'll pause the digging effort for the next days: besides having less
free time, I think it'll help us digest all those updates.

Obviously, the cleaning is far from complete: there are lots of issues
with 2.5 as version, lots of similar issues (e.g. for socket,
HTMLParser), etc. I'll soon post a tentative plan to attack these. The
goal would roughly be making it easier to pick good issues for PyCon
sprints and fixing in / adding to 2.7 and 3.1.

Cheers,
Daniel
