There are really two sets of bugs we'd like to pay attention to:
1. Those blocking the release of Emacs 25. Clearly, we can't release until
this reaches zero.
2. All the open bugs, especially the oldest ones. If they don't reproduce
against emacs-25 anymore, we'd like to mark them closed as fixed in that
release.
#1 is a fairly small list, so just getting more information on those bugs so
that the developers know how to proceed next is what's important.
#2 is a large list, but would help out the Emacs project by clearing out
things we don't need to pay attention to anymore.

A comment would be valuable, and if what you saw still matches the description
of the problem.

Perhaps we do need a targeted document for on-boarding bug herders. If, while
you're learning this process, you could keep some notes on what helped you to
get started, Andrew, that could become the start of such a document.
