[oe] Bugtracker Status

Hi guys,

we have 1141 open bugs in the bugtracker, a couple of hundreds from ancient 
autobuilder builds, some more hundreds application specific bugs, and then 
some actual ones.

I think there are two ways to deal with the mess:

1.) Officially close the bugtracker down.

2.) Attack the situation.

I'm fine with either way, though if we'd go for 2.), I'd propose:

2.1.) Removing all autobuilder bugs completely (how can we script that?) and 
stop autobuilder automatically adding bugs. It was a great idea, but it 
didn't work out. We do not have enough manpower and it just messes up the 
bugtracker.
2.2.) Remove all software specific bugs that have an upstream and are not 
distribution-relevant, such as GPE, Opie, Kernel, etc.
2.3.) Reinstate the monthly bug squashing weekends.

Opinions?
