Yah there are a ton of Bugzilla issues, that's the problem. More
than half of them aren't "actionable" as you put it.
Here's the problem, look at something like Rust:
Pull requests? 95 open, it's about the same as Dlang, But if you
go to the last page...
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pulls?page=4&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen
Look at that the oldest one is from October 15th, 20_17_.
Now we go to DMD...
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pulls?page=6&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen
Oldest one is from January 17, 20_13_.
In contrast this same problem exists for Bugzilla. You say it's
working cause it's better than using notepad or some other stupid
shit. Bugzilla isn't the issue, it's the fact the people
maintaining it aren't willing to commit to anything and leave
issues open that shouldn't be left open. That just results in
noise making it difficult to see what actual issues are. I'm not
even talking about duplicate entries as you seem to have have
misunderstood.
