I guess this is a side effect of dealing with popular packages.
You did a good job, and inspired others.

If I could fix the bugs myself, I would have joined the x strike force...
But I thought about these goals for the bug triage:
1. Confirm all bugs to still be relevant for xorg version 7.2-5 and
xorg-server version 1.3.0.0.
2. Close bugs which can't be confirmed and the submitter is not
responsive (3 pings during 6 weeks time).
Any other suggestions? Is what I'm offering OK by you?
