What I did find was a few bug reports I could extract myself from, close, or request be closed. It might be helpful to have a yearly script notify non-freebsd parties involved in bug reports to review their involvement and see if issues have subsided or no longer matter. This could help reduce the total count with no substantial work and might highlight areas that still matter. Among those, bug reports 194935 and 219914 can be closed because they have been fixed but I did not open them. Thanks.
