Yes, if we're just tracking patches or major proposals in a bug tracker. The
hard part is actually deciding that they're closed. It's a big very cat-like
herd of community members here. Reaching a consensus on taking action takes a
long time and much teeth gnashing.

Note that some people here are pushing a "tracker" as a way to "organize" the
mailing lists and keep all discussions about the proposed changes from design
to committing. I think they're crazy but they keep proposing that their
favourite magical "tracker" will do it automatically. I think it will just end
up looking like Bruce's lists where we couldn't even figure out how many
patches were buried in those 2,000 messages.
