My original plan was to triage all outstanding trac tickets to identify
those that really are important for 1.35.0, and then start pestering the
owners.

But so far I've spent all my time on test issues and failures.

If you want to start triaging tickets and pestering people, feel free to 
go ahead and start that effort.

http://beta.boost.org/development/testing.html has links to both main 
trunk and release branch testing. Also smoke tests.
