No need for feeling any guilt :-)

I'm just hoping that by everyone randomly doing a very small amount of
work, this could be in good shape very quickly. I've done a number of bulk
edits like automated dependency upgrade requests which brings the number
down to just over 600.

Your message does highlight some easy cases: issues filed to track your own
feature work. I did built automation for this: "On Issue Created" -> "If
Assignee == Issue Creator" -> "Transition to 'Open'". If the automation
isn't working, that can probably be fixed. Some of the issues might just
predate the automation.

To be super clear: I don't mean to ask anyone to waste time looking at
things that don't need attention, but to be able to notice things that do
need attention. I did a few manually too, and the components, issue type,
and priority very often need fixing up. I especially want to get untriaged
P0s and P1s to zero.
