Henning,

If you're volunteering to do some cleanup and co-ordination of the
bugzilla that would be awesome! Its not a fun job, but you'd be making a
very important contribution. You'd probably deserve a medal or
something...

I'd really like to get the bugzilla into a state where the information
it contains is up to date, the reports are detailed, and the
prioritisation is reliable. Hence, folk will find it useful as a tool.
Posting a weekly report of major open issues to xen-devel would be good
too, so we can see how we're doing.

I'd start by looking at any issue dormant for more than three months and
close it unless you know it still to be live.   

Best,
Ian
