The issue tracker should only have open items that are confirmed

bug reports being triaged and feature requests where someone agreed to
work on.
Closing these issues will notify the issuer. This allows complaining
about it. If no one complains, it's not that important. Also with
a lack
of manpower saying 'patches welcome' is a valid option.
As long as these issues are clearly labeled as 'feature request', once
some devs are running out of work, they can search closed issues for
unresolved FRs.
I think the tenor so far is that it makes sense to tag feature
requests at once and close them after a few weeks of silence.
Do you happen to know a way to add any sort of policy
description/links to https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt
<https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/issues?state=closed&label_name%5B%5D=enhancement> or
https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/issues?
<https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/issues?state=closed&label_name%5B%5D=enhancement> It
would be nice to have text such as "If you want to contribute, here's
a link to feature requests that noone's offered to work on; here's a
link to feature requests that are currently being worked on (at least
a little)".
If you can make a useful search to retrieve such issues, you can usually
can them and lay them down as a gitlab.com link somewhere.
