I think a simple query for which issues haven't moved for over a year should be skimmed for important stuff and close as won't fix with comment about reopening If still a concern for the reporter could help.
Btw. Which bz query is used on the release plan ? Couldn't find link for it. /max
Mark's summary of how it is used is accurate.
I use a similar approach, using a separate email account to help me manage
the volume. There is definitely a bunch of ancient junk in there, which
I find happens with any successful open source project. The old stuff was
all triaged as a reasonable idea or valid bug at the time it was entered,
but over time may have become stale, irrelevant, or invalid. Sorting and/or
querying by most recently modified date helps you get a more useful picture.
I sometimes go through the old backlog and do some pruning but haven't
been able to keep up with the volume lately. We've been talking recently
about ideas for cleaning that up - any ideas you have in that are are welcome!

Re: [orion-dev]
how is Bugzilla used ?
Sent by:

I have subscribed to e-mail notifications
in every Orion bugzilla component, so I get emails for every new bug or
comment. I then archive those emails and search them for keywords when
I need to find bugs.
Admittedly this won't work for a new user,
since you won't have that email history. If there's a set of bugs that
I need to monitor closely, I create a custom bugzilla query that returns
only those bug IDs, and bookmark it.
Most Orion components have a reasonably-sized backlog which can be viewed
as a list: JS Tools, Editor, Server, Doc, Releng, Node -- these are all
OK-ish. The big problem is Client: it's a dumping ground that contains
lots of ancient junk.
Maybe we need an automated WONTFIX pass for anything with no recent activity
in (say) the last year?

Hi,
While looking into orion we were looking into current state of bugs in
bugzilla, mainly starting from the "View open bugs" and "summarise
bugs" links at https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/eclipse.orion/developer
The 1500+ open bugs seems a bit high and some seems really old and maybe
not even relevant anymore.
We were wondering how you do triaging on these since there are not *that*
many components.
Any tips/inisights on how you triage this and how you suggest newcomers
get an idea of where to sort/look
would be great!
Thanks,
