It's not a good sign that bugs are open thatlong...
I don't think we'll ever get there, my last count says we have 303
open bugzilla issues, and my perception is that we have little
collective energy to analyze and prioritize them, we've been chasing
this for months now without significant results.
How about doing a "bug amnesty" as follows?
1) Set ALL Cocoon2 open issues to WONTFIX state, with a comment like
BUG_AMNESTY_2005_10 and a link to a wiki page explaning what's
happening.
This will send a mail to bug reporters, people in CC etc. to give
them a chance to react.
2) In the explanation, ask people who receive these mails to reopen
the issue if they think it is still current, if their patch still
does make sense, etc.
Explain that the goal is to have an up-to-date list of relevant issues.
This would allow collaborative cleanup of the list of issues by the
people who are interested in them. We might miss a few issues if
people don't reply, but they'd be marked with BUG_AMNESTY_2005_10 in
the comments if we need them back, so easy to find.
Without such a scheme, I'm afraid we'll drag this list forever
without being able to separate the wheat from the chaff.
WDYT?

I wouldn't do this with all bugs, but if a bug has been opened for 6
months or perhaps a year or more and has had no activity then I think
changing its status to EXPIRED would be appropriate. It can always be
reopened and fixed.
No, because it becomes invisible. Hidding reported bugs is a bad idea.
