Maybe we should introduce some 'tracker days/weekends' when we concentrate on reviewing bugs/patches? The number of patches/bugs on the tracker is insane and I am almost sure many are not valid anymore. Another thing is that sometimes tracker is used as an idea incubator. If initial patch gathers no real interest task is left open and forgotten. Maybe we should dedicate wiki page to such abandoned ideas instead and keep tracker clean. In my opinion if patch get no serious interest for half a year it should be removed from tracker (which doesn't mean we should discard the work completely).
