As I already pointed out: One of the things that - IMO - needs touching is Bugzilla. We have far to many bugs which are open. I suspect a great number to already be either fixed or duplicates of other bugs. So the simplest thing you really can do is to take a look at bugs that bug you and see if there's other, related -- or equal bugs. > Big thanks to Igor for his message, his suggestions, and recommending > the "Open Source Projects and Poisonous People" talk.
