sounds nice. I suggest to wait a few days more for the release of LibO  
4.3.3 (Week 44 , Oct 27, 2014 - Nov 2, 2014) in order to have the latest  
Fresh release available for testing.

I'm just curious to know what would be the actual numbers of UNCONFIRMED  
and NEW bugs with last comment older than 6 months and 1 year.

can you obtain those numbers to have a simulation of what would be the  
corrispondent mail traffic that we are going to generate? can you do that  
with your Bugzilla admin "powers" ?

once we have those numbers we may decide wheter to run the "please retest  
ping campaign" against 6 months old bugs or just 1 year old bugs.

as said before, the first real test has to be done on UNCONFIRMED bugs,  
maybe we can already ping 6 months old bugs which should not be that many  
(exact numbers needed though)

also give a look at my mockup automated message and tell me if look good  
in english:

...............................................................................
Dear users, this bug report has shown no new comments in the last 6 months.

or

Dear users, this bug report has shown no new comments in the last 12  
months.

Newer LibO releases with hundred of bugifixes and new features have been  
releases meanwhile, so please retest with latest LibO release (4.3.3.2)  
and give feedback of the actual status of the bug.

If the bug is not reproducible anymore, please post a comment and set  
status to RESOLVED WORKSFORME.
If the bug is still present leave status UNCHANGED and post a new comment  
telling the LibO version and O/S where you retested.

Regardless of what you find in newer versions, the VERSION fields should  
stay at the _first_ version that showed the buggy behaviour, so please do  
not change that value to a later version.
