+1, I say let's vote. And thanks for the succinct summary.

Are we agreed that the closing of bugs should be done (aside from the
details of how)?

Let's start with that, if general agreement is yes, we'll move forward with
specific details (I think we should vote per item to allow discussion if
it's needed).

If we agree that closing bugs need done, I can at least present the idea
during the ESC call to give developers a chance to respond. I know there
are some concerns about the mass emails that will happen upon closing them.


Best Regards,
Joel
