The status should almost always be Accepted.  If the Owner is me
or Valentin, that should be removed (it was an artifact of an old
system) unless the issue has a patch by either of us or it is
marked as Status-started.

Yes.  Please add "bug still in 2.15.10" in those cases.  If the
graphical output has changed, also add a png.
Dmytro has a very nice script that produces better pngs -- some of
the old reports have a pdf; please replace that with a png.


3) carefully consider the 'Type' label.  (the CG page on issue
clarification needs revision, but the GOP-PROP on issues
priorities is correct.  I hope to fix the CG later today)
Most notably, somewhere between 20% - 60% of type-defect issues
should be type-ugly now.

4) remove the Priority label

5) to avoid fatigue, both on your part and the part of people
reading bug-lilypond, I'd suggest no more than 10 issues each day.
Yes, it'll take two months to go through the entire list, but
there's no particular urgency for this.
