[Libreoffice-qa] ping to retest old bugs

[Joel Madero]

Sounds great - so let's try to come up with a concrete plan that
everyone (or most) sign off on and then just do a thumbs up or down
vote. Let's try to not get too picky about the details.

@Tommy - you mind giving a proposed consistent plan of attack? If you
want me to briefly write something up let me know.


Best,
Joel
