Age of issue is not a big deal. In fact I see it as a good
sign that at least issues are left to breathe while we wait and
understand the impact or urgency of it. As opposed to jumping
in and fixing issues immediately without taking due diligence
on the wider picture it affects.
Is this a problem with triage?
i.e. like a hositpital emergency ward chaos rules, cause nobody
is on duty triaging.
How does a contributor prioritise their contribution to items in
bugzilla?
Or is it perhaps a tooling problem? (i.e. bugzilla lacks features
that are needed).
Or is it a problem with not having enough people on duty,
triaging?
Or is it a problem with just too many patients coming in?
Or .. ??
