Those are taken from SourceForge, and I'm not sure we need all of them,
as David says. :)

But the point of the "languishing" status is really to not have them in
your results when searching for open issues.  Searching for "open, but
not with one of these three resolutions" is much harder.

As David says, I have a plan to consolidate the dev docs and bring them
into the source repo.  Of course, just because it is my plan, it doesn't
need to be done by me :)

Aren't there people sprinting somewhere? :)
