Too many open issues

[kaitlynia]

I'm browsing open issues now and it seems (beyond the major triage label being the only significant signal here) that there are many stale issues that either have an ambiguous scope (with no discussion in 2 years) or are solved/superceded/covered by another issue.

Can anything be done about this? I am willing to put in the work to sift through them, but only if maintainers agree something should be.

Seems as well that only the first couple pages have type labels, I could also help with that :D

Thanks for directing me there! I'll close this discussion

You can make a small list like I did, if you want—the items I posted were addressed—and then wait for feedback from the maintainers.

That said, the project doesn’t have the manpower to handle every issue that’s reported, and people often forget to close their issues. Using a bot to close older issues could be another approach.
