It's not hard to setup prebaked bugzilla queries that return very old bugs, sorted by various criteria. Currently, I've setup for myself a bunch of prebaked queries named "1-2yo bugs", "2-10yo bugs", "last 6 months", etc.. Finding old bugs are just 1 click away. Many old bugs are non-trivial to fix, though (the easy ones have already been fixed, obviously). Like #340, which has a very long list of dependencies, most of which have been closed but the remainder of which are not so simple to fix.
