Triage them; go through each bug, try to find out if it was fixed and
which version it was fixed in. For the definitely fixed bugs, close
them with a versioned -done message. For the definitely not fixed
bugs, mark them as found in the versions you tested the issue on. For
issues that were caused by an incorrect action by the submitter, close
them with an unversioned -done message. For other situations, discuss
the issues with their submitters and potentially with the rest of the
APT team and with the wider Debian community. If no obvious course of
action presents itself for a bug and the bug doesn't appear to have
value any longer, the last resort is to just close the bug. Some more
bug triage tips are on the wiki, and the links in the "Other
documentation" section of the page.
