I agree with Ian. Let them focus on closing irrelevant and inactive
stuff. If we should ever do another 1.4 release at all, we'd only fix
super important showstopper bugs, but hardly any small ones. Our
motivation to touch 1.4 is really low anyway.

Other than that, I'll probably be able to help in the bug triage.
Could you put it on our Amarok calendar, lest I forget?
