While it's an interesting suggestion, dub has 355 open issues,
would be better if more people pitched in on those:

It looks like the current policy is to leave issues open unless
they're exact duplicates or have a pull request that mentions
fixing them. (Not quite so dour, but it's not great.) That
artificially inflates the count with stuff like:
* There's already a way to do that, but it doesn't match what
you want
* We don't have anything that matches, but we're not going to
add it without a large swell of requests
* Reported crash / error / etc from four years ago that was
probably fixed three years ago
* Issue was fixed but the pull request didn't reference the
issue
I'm quite willing to do bug triage, but I don't have the
authority.
Yeah, Sonke is very liberal about leaving issues open and a tool
like this has a lot of features people want, so it isn't as bad
as it looks. I went through many of the issues and got Seb to
close 5-6 of them, and then was made a member of the dlang/dub
team. Just comment with one of our nicks on any issue and we'll
do what's needed.
