Hi,

this approach sounds good to me too. I just wanted to mention that I have all 
the old Tigris Issues (and user and developer mails)
archived on my local machine. They're stored in a simple text-ish format that 
can be read into corresponding Python classes.
My plan is still to write a small "viewer" app, that would enable interested developers/users 
to "browse" through the "SCons
archives". In my view there is a lot of hidden knowledge in there, that we 
can't really use at the moment.

I'll try to check whether my "archive" is still up-to-date during the next 
days. ;)

Best regards,

Dirk

I think this would be great. I'll help review the bugs-to-be-closed.

    Just to pull some thoughts together:

    there are currently 679 open scons issues on github.

    That number drops to 92 if you select only ones which have had a
    modification since the big migration from tigris. Try this query:

    is:issue is:open updated:>=2018-02-10

    or as a link:

    
https://github.com/SCons/scons/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+updated%3A%3E%3D2018-02-10+

    I'm a relative newcomer around here, but I don't see the value of
    showing a ton of historical bugs that aren't being worked on; the newly
    filed ones don't even get a lot of attention - there just isn't a big
    scons team at this point and numerically most current contributors have
    a specific motivation ("itch to scratch" as it were) rather than the
    ability to just generally work on bugs.  To provide more visible focus
    there's already been some discussion of a bug prune.

    My suggestion is this:

    (a) close all open tigris bugs with a message that includes these items:

    * bug is now tracked on github [link]
    * bugs which have not had activity in 18 months are going to be closed
    (it doesn't have to be 18, but that was the cutover time)
    * we understand readers of this issue might not see messages from
    github, so if you want to keep this issue alive, make a comment - any
    comment - on the corresponding github issue.

    (b) fire up a bot to mark inactive github issues with a tag, and
    configure suitably.  Looks like there's an app in the github marketplace
    that is free so setup is just a YAML file. Example setup here:

    
https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/commit/afd968dfa1ce1141456a207484d35f2766d5916b

    the app:

    https://github.com/marketplace/stale

    (c) someone scan through the first-time closure proposal list and
    manually update any which seem deserving of continued life.


    Closed-as-stale issues don't vanish, they are still there to be browsed
    as needed...
