[Pulp-dev] Pulp2 Bug Backlog Closing?

[Austin Macdonald]

I think if we close a lot of them, closed issues will be very difficult to
find with ~4500 bugs (open and closed). I've been spending some time
combing the backlog recently, and I'm compiling lists of bugs that I think
can be closed. What I am also finding are tickets that could reasonably be
updated for Pulp 3. IMO, these tickets are common enough that it would be
worth our time to consider them.

Of course, going through the enormous backlog will be very time consuming.
If we agree that there is too much value to close the lot of them, then
AFAICT the only path forward is to coordinate the effort and move through
it over time.
