The migration of issues from Google Code to GitHub earlier this summer 
didn't keep the detailed "status" field, only a boolean open/close. At 
Google Code, we used to keep issues opened with a FixedNotReleased status 
until the next release (because, I believe, most people don't search for 
closed issues). Knowing that, if you look closer, you can see that 13 open 
issues assigned to Milestone 2.8 are actually 
"FixedNotReleased": 
https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues?q=is%3Aissue+milestone%3A2.8+FixedNotReleased
But yes, the issue tracker needs some love, and I proposed a process (and 
have some open questions) to the Steering Committee.

Conference organizers are probably the ones who should promote their 
conference; GWT core contributors don't have time for that. But anyone can 
promote the conferences, anywhere.
The web site is open to contributions 
<http://www.gwtproject.org/makinggwtbetter.html#webpage> and it just 
happens that nobody (organizers, or anyone in the community) proposed (pull 
request or even just an issue) to promote the conference on the site.
