Thanks to Matt Diephouse, about 30+ tickets have just been properly marked as resolved. (Though I physically closed them, he did all the legwork. Someone make him a bugadmin, please.)
This leaves 268 documented issues in RT, plus whatever is lurking in CVS. >50% of these are -new-, despite the fact that some of them are > 2.5 years old
http://rt.perl.org/rt3/NoAuth/parrot/Overview.html shows a few dozen of these tickets are platform specific. Some of those tickets are very old. Can someone from the various platforms verify if these are able to be closed? (Win32, mswin32, vms, os2, cygwin, MacOS X, linux, freebsd).
The current "Hall of Shame" ticket is #760.
