I am happy to say that we have been closing bugs faster than they are
being filed in the last 6 months. There have been 85 new bugs filed
and 110 bugs closed. There are now "only" 975 bugs open.

Great progress, but still slightly intimidating. So if people could
take a look and confirm or close issues that would be appreciated.
