I have added the bugtracker links to
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7Planning

If there are patches, they need to be tested and applied.
If this doesn't happen... we cannot delay forever (luckily higher
version numbers are yet free :).

Thanks for looking into this!

Why do you think so? This would mean than many bugs are missing the
the trackers? Are you sure about that?

Ideally yes. In the real world the old bugtracker cleaning day didn't happen
yet although proposed...
