To make sure everything is reviewed, I look for the tickets without a
fix version set (which maps to "unknown"), and then set the ticket to
an upcoming milestone or a release series, or to Future. I don't
consider Future the horizon, but beyond the horizon. The horizon is
the numbered versions. If something is set to unknown (no fix
version), then I know the ticket hasn't been reviewed.


Right. And in fact that was the basis upon which the version values in JIRA
were created, when we moved from Bugzilla. There's a fairly lengthy
discussion of this in the archives, for anyone who cares to delve into the
rationale more deeply.
