How about trying to get the bugs accurate?

As far as we know from IRC meetings and list discussions so far,
no-one is willing to work on new releases of 3.0 or earlier any more,
so those bugs should be marked WONTFIX unless anyone knows better.
Having them listed as new, assigned or similar is just misleading for
everyone.  They are definitely drifting to WONTFIX.

No-one is suggesting marking them CLOSED yet.  They can be REOPENED
if anyone is going to work on them.  I don't understand why you
wouldn't want most of them marked WONTFIX, even as a temporary measure.

As for that example bug 2389, I've noted it's still present and set it
to enhancement, which is what it looks like to me.  Now it probably
won't be reclassified incorrectly by someone skimming.

Do that sort of thing or JFFI if you spot them, please.

Hope that explains,
