There are 409 bugs open. 73 have been changed within the last 6 months, 36 within the previous 6 months (that is, starting from July 4th, 2016), 31 since 2016-01-09, 44 since 2015-07-01, 36 since 2015-01-08, 34 since 2014-07-11, 59 since 2014-01-12, 57 since 2013-07-07, 37 since 2013-01-20, 2 since 2012-07-07. (I verified the sum with awk. :P) The are no older bugs because they were once closed. These figures alone don't form an answer but at least we could see what number of bugs would be affected. I think that 6 months would work just to have a smallish number of bugs to focus on, but then some would be reopened, and who knows, maybe the final number would be doubled meaning there would be 146 bugs to work on.
