Hi, trying to find the simplest path:

Since free time is a luxury, what about simply a bulk change TO NEW /
LOWEST. I know it's not a perfect solution, but is a big improvement
done fast. Then active teams and contributors (many of them receiving
notifications for the changes) will fine tune each one of them. Or not,
but this would mean that such reports would have been ignored anyway in
your eventual call for volunteers.
What I mean is that by doing a bulk change there is a potential for
saving time, and no potential for wasting more time.
* we need to actively discourage the use of RESOLVED LATER for
tickets recently marked as such, and point to this thread. Help
welcome.
This can be easily implemented after the bulk change, by removing LATER
altogether.
Once no RESOLVED LATER tickets remain, I can remove the resolution.
Another benefit of the bulk change is that quick transitions are better
than long transitions.
One alternative is to give people a week to change manually the
resolution of LATER report, and then do the bulk change with the
remaining ones.
