Yes, do a query like http://tinyurl.com/9nxs2 and select "change several
bugs at once". Then we can enter a comment (which people will get by
mail) and change the issue state.
Caveats:
-For some reason the "mark as NEEDINFO" option does not appear in this
case, so we might not be able to use this state for this purpose. I
suggest using LATER, and having people change state to REOPENED if they
want to confirm the issue.
Fine by me, but in the wiki page you say something along the lines "if
you don't respond, the state stays WONTFIX", which in effect means you
have to mark all bugs for "WONTFIX".
-This will send a *lot* of mails to dev@, we should warn people before
we do this, they might want to adjust their mail filters
Good idea.
However, I don't think you should include all bugs, only the older ones,
e.g. don't include those added in September and October. I still think
that will give users/contributors the wrong idea.
I've expanded on this, see "Bugzilla comment to send" at
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/BugzillaIssuesCleanup - this is the page
to which bugzilla comments (i.e. mails that people will receive) will
point.
Fine by me. Suggested deadline: 3 weeks from the date of the change.
