Cool. I've paused for a bit of a break, but here's some info on what
I've been doing.

My process today has been to simply go to the big list of open tickets
and read them, one by one. This has been slow and painful, but mostly
because we don't do that often enough :)

Right now I'm up to #5002, which means I'm in the home stretch; my
methodology has been:

1. For issues which have spawned out multiple tickets, pick a "master"
ticket and dupe the rest, with references from the master back to any
relevant discussion or patches.

2. For tickets which have been sitting at "design decision needed"
with no activity for an excessively long period of time (more than a
year in several cases), wontfix with a comment inviting anyone who
wants to champion it to pick it up and make a case.

3. For tickets which will be obsoleted by newforms-admin, add a note
saying so. For some very specific (and usually old) customization
requests, I've closed the ticket as well.

4. For things which I can verify have been fixed in other commits,
close fixed with a note explaining the feature, fix or -- if I could
find it -- changeset which fixed them.

5. Anything related to JavaScript or CSS in the admin got assigned to
Christian, who's going to wish he never volunteered to help with that
;)

A couple of "master tickets" to note:

* Everything related to customizing FileField is being duped and
pointed at #5361.
* Everything related to easier ways to automatically and/or manually
add CSS classes or other HTML fanciness to newforms fields/widgets is
being duped and pointed at #3515.
* Everything which would be solved by a cleaner solution for app_label
is being duped and pointed at #3591.

Two things which don't have obvious "master" tickets but need them:

1. Initial SQL parsing problems. There are a *lot* of these.

2. Weird issues created by "primary_key=True".

3. Weird issues created by "to_field". I'm waffling between #4088 and
#4306, and may arbitrarily choose one.
