<ul dir="auto">

<li>Specific problems (almost all of the rest)</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">As far as I can tell, no one is taking specific action on anything here. The oldest bugs are years old.</p>
<p dir="auto">Feedback we've heard from contributors is that it's hard to "listen" for discussion or bugs related to .d.ts files they've worked on. And as we can see from the issue tracker, people who don't know how to contribute fixes aren't really getting results from filing issues on the issue tracker.</p>
