Some ideas :
- ask for help
- orphan one or two packages
- accept NMUs

All bugs should be closed. And a package with many bugs *can* be corrected.
I dit it for dpkg-ftp when I adopted it (it had 88 bugs and only one
wishlist bug remain [1]) and Vincent Renardias did many NMUs for various
buggy packages (the last one beeing wu-ftpd-academ with more than 60 bugs
closed).

I must say that posting a message to debian-devel asking for your
removal was a sort of provocation. Like if you wanted to say, I'm proud
of my bugs. :) Hopefully this is not the case.
Cheers,
[1] However many bugs were already fixed by NMUs and many bugs had
been reported multiple times. That's why I was able to close more of them
in a WE.
