Just did some cleanup - sorry for the mail spam.

Closed a lot of old or badly written issues targeting 1.7.x, 7.0.x and
7.1.x - feel free to re-open or update the fixed version, if it was
wrongly closed.

I am planning to do another session to triage the issues targeting 8.x,
so we have a better view, which of these issues / bugs might also be
relevant for 9.x and 10.x

Gruß
Richard
