I like the idea - how do you suggest asking?

We could add a comment to each open issue with the question (which 
would send a mail to bug reporters), pointing to a wiki page with an 
explanation, and set all bugs to NEEDINFO?



Sounds good and at least requires less work than going over all of 
them by hand. Can this be done as a batch?

How about:
"We noticed this bug is open for quite some time. We wish to move on 
them and need your help. Can you verify that the bug still applies 
with the current version of Cocoon? Please verify and report back. 
More information can be found <link to wikipage>here</link>."


Hmm. This sounds more or less the same as CLOSE the bugs. You provided 
before a very interesting sample: Suppose you requested a [Link] in the 
bug report. How do you will feel if you got this meesage:

You're right. I was thinking about those "bugs" and intended to get them 
closed before the cleanup issue. There are only three of them AFAIK.
