I think it would be great to reduce the median age of open
issues, and the median longevity of closed issues. I'm in
talks with Sebastian about publishing such metrics. One
obvious way to improve that is to look at old bugs - I suspect
many are simple or have been fixed already.

What about #5337 [1] ? It's the oldest Phobos bug in Bugzilla,
from 2010. It seems to be a proposal for tail-const support for
Phobos ranges, accompanied by an implementation. Should
something be done about that? I never felt the need for
tail-const in the language.

As the person who filed that bug, I say close it. It was filed in
response to clamor in the newsgroup about how D was unusable
without tail const - an assertion that has proven baseless.
