Hi Marshall -

Thx for keeping this up.  I have a question, though.  I'm wondering if Mike
Glassford or Stephen Cleary (2 of the top 3) are really going to ever address
their bugs in the near future?  My guess is no.  Perhaps we should consider
closing some of these out as 'will not be fixed -- no active maintainer'? 
Taking it from another angle, by my count we have the following historical
breakdown:

Opened in 2002 - 9
Opened in 2003 - 3
Opened in 2004 - 12
Opened in 2005 - 37

Seems to me that the 24 issues that are now over a year old really should be
evaluated for validaty or closed as unlikely to ever be fixed.  Thoughts?

Jeff
