Today I went through 1/2 to 2/3 of the bugs, looking for dead stuff. There was less than I thought, but still a bit. Also there are a few relatively straightforward patches that have been sitting there unviewed -- not to mention bigger, useful stuff like the 'try/except' patch. I agree that changing bug systems will only have a minimal effect, if any, on this sort of thing. So, consider this a plea for a bit more attention to the bug database from maintainers :) Tom
