Holy crap!
You don't know how exciting this is for me. I have had a few previous
attempts in private at tackling this problem and get burnt out after a
while. Check out:

http://bugs.kde.org/reports.cgi?product=konqueror&output=show_chart&datasets=UNCONFIRMED%3A&banner=1

I'm pretty confident I can claim responsibility for the previous two
downward spikes. I kind of gave up for a while when the number
skyrocketed again.

A few points I'd like to make:

* I'm totally against autoclosing old bugs. One of the strategies I have
adopted for old bugs that I couldn't reproduce/understand or that were
obscure was to make a comment like "is this still an issue for you
<reporter's name>". Often you would get a response like, yeah it's fine
now in kde X.X. Or, still get it in latest kde. Then I would close if
there was no response in a few weeks.

* check out:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84953#c4

Our bugzilla is one of the most important interfaces between kde
developers and users. Bugrot is one of the biggest problems I can see
that kde has. There are scores of old kde bugs that have had no response
to them. This means that as far as the user is aware, no one has seen
their report, or that they don't care about it. I think we need some
kind of target for responses to bug reports.

I think a target for unconfirmed konqueror bugs would also be a nice
idea.

* check out:

Can bughunter's please mark site specific bugs like this.
Marking the summary [site-issue] doesn't necessarily mean that it is the
site's bug and not konqueror. It is just a helpful way to categorize
more general konqueror bugs from site specific ones.


Cheers all and let the bug slaying begin!

Lexual.
