Hi Cor, I want so second that. Consolidating issues is very helpful for us and it can be a valuable contribution. As I assume that people doing this have some interest in seeing something done in return ;-) I would like to add that such contributions should be aligned with the project lead. The developers should state when resources will be available to work on some of the remaining issues so that nobody will work "for nothing" and gets frustrated.
