I'd like to know I had a mandate of some sort, even just to the extent
that the main characters, Axel, Ingo, Humdinger etc. approved what I
was doing, rather than the usual open source prima donna nonsense of me
turning up and deciding what I'll contribute in the absence of any real
need. Otherwise it's like arriving at someone elses party and saying
here's how things are going to be run from now on. A bit rude to say
the least, as I'll be contacting people and asking for more
information, deciding that bugs will be closed etc. That's a
significant responsibility.
Some of the tickets may very well be code-related. I'd say any
non-specific it-just-crashes older than say 12 months ought to be
closed unless it can be reproduced again now. In fact, *any* that
doesn't provide a means to reproduce; sorry guys but what can we do
with that ?

Maybe so but I won't be able actually to use Haiku myself until
https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9932 is solved except maybe on a VM
just for testing.
