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.

There's been some discussion about what to do with issues that propose
enhancements like this. We want to make them available and searchable
just in case someone working on a related proposal is looking for
precedent and inspiration.
I was thinking of closing with REMIND or LATER. Seb is experimenting
with moving the entire bug database to github issues, which may offer us
more options for classification.
