<div dir="ltr">Per our conversation this morning, I have created a spreadsheet of the 100 oldest issues at NEW in the Pulp project. I filtered out issues that were tagged with Katello or that had a BZ attached to them. <div><br></div><div>As for which issues to keep open: I added a column called "Champion" where people could add their name if they want to champion an issue, push it forward, and ensure that it could be picked up and worked on. Any issue that has a Champion attached to it will be left at NEW; the rest will be closed as WONTFIX.</div><div><br><div><div>I'll propose a deadline of September 1st before I close out the issues.
