You can point it to me, if you like. Probably a good idea if I know
about the bugs in between the times I go and run my stored query against
bugzilla.

Anything prior to 0.95.2 can be closed there is a "prehistoric"
category for those. I'm really not interested in fixing things that
cannot be verified with something 0.95 or later, since that was when
there was a largish amount of bug fixing in the space of a few months to
get some of the more obvious sillies out of the product.

I last looked at all the bugs about three months ago (there were 21 at
the time). I just checked the list again and I see it's up to 33, so
somebody's still using it. So none of the current bugs can be closed for
reasons of "old age", although some may be dupes. I will read through
them when I get a chance and triage them. There are also going to be a
bunch that are "fixed in CVS", since it's been 18 months or so since the
last release and a bit has happened since then. So I could possibly kill
a few by just releasing what exists (along with releasing a GNOME 2
port).

Man, Luis! Now I feel recalcitrant again. Yet another thing I am meant
to be doing and haven't. :-(
