I can tell you what Telsa did for gnorpm when we tackled that

-	Merged together obviously identical bugs
-	Made a note of the most commonly reported bugs
-	Closed bugs that were duplicates of a fixed bug
-	Closed bugs that were for very old releases with please upgrade
	and report if that helps

that made it very easy to see the serious problems, the problems that while
less serious everyone complained about, and also to figure out what to fix
first time around.

It was a big help
