I have processed all non-Accepted issues, and all Accepted issues
older than a year. I have also verified recently fixed issues (except
#334, which I can't find in the git log).

Oh yes; while I always check the bug list, I often miss issues that
people add directly.

Some have been reported for version 2.2, and are still valid today :-(

Well, I have spent a few hours running my own LBTP, and things are not
as messy as I was afraid they would be. I've had suprisingly few
issues to close; I commented the ones I reproduced with the latest
pre-2.12 version to make it clear that these were still active. This
will output quite a bunch of mails to bug-lilypond, but consider it as
a tracker's face-lift :-)
