Hi,

First of all, thanks for confirming the bug as gone! I will close it
shortly.

I very much agree with the above, and that's why I'm doing this bug
triage. I'm not a Debian developer, or even a maintainer. 

At the moment, I'm focusing on confirming old bug reports, closing them
if they are fixed in later versions, forwarding or fixing bugs that
still apply, and ultimately closing bugs that can't be reproduced and
where the submitter doesn't respond.

In time, I hope that this will make it a little bit easier for the GNOME
maintainers to handle the bug load.
