As far as I am concerned:

you don't need to touch the bugs regarding Amarok, I am handling those, so
please, do not send any more questions out to those.
We are currently preparing a newer version and I will close or transfer
bugs to other versions once this is done, sending out automated questions
would not be helpful at this point.

As for the other projects with these old bugs: please ask the individual
maintainers for this, unless these are definitely unmaintained projects,
then we need to decide whether those can be closed without further notice.

Regards, Myriam
