Here is a list of what I consider closing.
Reasons for closing are:
* upupstream bugs (so not TeX Live but the original author)
example: package foobar does not do this or that
example: package foo and package bar don't work together
how to proceed: please contact the original author, or one
of the support channels like tex.stackexchange.com, comp.text.tex
or your local TeX guru
* descriptions, typos etc
example: typo in the description of pcakge foo
howto proceed: report to upupstream author to fix it in the next
upload of the package to CTAN. And/or contact CTAN maintainers
* very old and probably fixed
example: please or that
how to proceed: verify that it is fixed, and if not, reopen the bug
------
This is also about what I want to write, together with some introductory
sentence that we are cleaning the bug database
List of bugs for the first round attaached, please let me know if you
disagree with some of them.
Norbert
