I already did go through many bug reports/feature requests yesterday
and requested closure on the ones that seemed to be fixed/no longer an
issue. Also commented on the ones that were potentialy solved to
motivate the users who reported them to verify the bug is still valid
and also remind the developers about the bugs existence.I will
continue, going through the remaining ones during this week.

Lack of time and/or interest? As far as i have seen most old ones are
feature requests. That makes it more difficult to implement them cause
they need to be discussed thoroughly to make sure its better than what
we have now & also doesnt break anything etc.

Roman (Romashka) is in charge of the bug tracker but all developers
can close bugs and especially the ones a task is assigned to.

No idea. Leave the bug alone i guess :P
