I think the bug tracker is mostly up-to-date; if there are some rotting bugs in there that no longer apply, then I assume that the move to Bugzilla would involve a check of the relevancy of the bugs before they are moved across. As with most bug databases, there are quite a few that are still pertinent, but involve quite a bit to fix. The ones that tend to go are relatively trivial. There are probably some that could be closed that were reported a long time ago, where the original reporter has disappeared and they can't be replicated. I think this is sort of what you implied, but an arbitrary date is probably not the best way to handle all of them. I definitely agree on the task list; both the GNU Classpath web page one and the Savannah one are very misleading to prospective GNU Classpath hackers. In this case, I think we should choose the one that is most used by the current team; if this is the wiki, then so be it, but I do feel the Savannah one is the one that is more 'designed' for this purpose. Maybe there is a possibility of a similar but better feature in Bugzilla which could be used when we moved to the GCJ system?
