<p>Hi Myriam,</p>
<p>My apologies, I wasn't clear in my initial email. I am not
planning to close any bugs. I was merely thinking we could ask
users to assist by confirming that the bugs reported long ago
still exist in the more recent versions.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Justin Zobel<br>

<br>
I'm new to Bug triaging however I have made strides to
reduce the old <br>
bugs that fill the bug tracker.<br>
<br>
There are 3,604 bugs that haven't been changed in 5 years <br>
(<a href="https://bit.ly/3rcNuyU" rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://bit.ly/3rcNuyU</a>).
Most of these bugs would all be on old <br>
unmaintained versions of the software.<br>
<br>
I feel that asking users to confirm if these bugs still
existed by doing <br>
a mass bug change would be beneficial to cleaning up the
tracker of bugs <br>
that aren't likely even relevant.<br>
