I could also help with this from time to time. I think maybe at least half of the issues are outdated, in the sense that the original reporter was no longer working on it or able to provide enough details to reproduce it. While some still correspond to important feature request or potential serious bugs, many of them could probably be safely closed. I am not advocating we should always close issues that are too old, clearly the best way is really to resolve it if we have enough man power.
I would suggest creating some tags for this, things could be 'out-dated', 'FAQ', etc. And periodically sweep through the issues, if you see an issues that should be closed due to inactivity, you label it as 'out-dated' and leave a message saying that it will be closed after XXX days if remains inactive. Or if it corresponds to some frequently asked questions, mark it as 'FAQ'. And another sweep that also happens periodically could try to close the issues marked for 'out-dated' for a while and assemble entries into documentation for the 'FAQ' issues. - chiyuan On Thu, Aug 31, 2017 at 4:32 AM, Dominic Divakaruni < [email protected]> wrote: > fellow mxnet'ers, we have >1900 open issues on git.
