Taking after Andrew’s suggestion, perhaps the report can just focus on Stale issues (no updates in > 90 days), since those are probably the easiest to act on.
For example: Stale Issues <https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20SPARK%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20updated%20%3C%3D%20-90d%20ORDER%20BY%20updated%20ASC> - [Oct 22, 2012] SPARK-560 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-560>: Specialize RDDs / iterators - [Oct 22, 2012] SPARK-540 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-540>: Add API to customize in-memory representation of RDDs - [Oct 22, 2012] SPARK-573 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-573>: Clarify semantics of the parallelized closures - [Nov 06, 2012] SPARK-609 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-609>: Add instructions for enabling Akka debug logging - [Dec 17, 2012] SPARK-636 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-636>: Add mechanism to run system management/configuration tasks on all workers Andrew, Does that seem more useful?
