Great!
This is very helpful.

A lot of bug reporter will still care.
I know because I've reported some bugs in reporting systems of
sourceforge and debian and I do still care for there resolution.

For bugs not clear enough or not reproducible I suggest we start
with the following:

	First we should contact people about missing details.
	If we still miss details after two weeks,
	I think we should set the status of the bug to "stalled".

	If it was unreproducable for another two weeks after this,
	with no new details, we should call it resolved.

	If we publish a new version and believe a bug to be gone
	we also should contact people.

What do you think?

Also: Feel free to shift priorities around as you like so that
other developers can get a feeling which bugs are more important.
