I'm still doing changes (see my other email), so I'd really prefer to
not deal with pending changes merged to another one, as it will make
also your work more annoying.

I can understand you want to work on PIM 17.12, but 17.08 has still_not_
migrated to testing as of today, so mixing stuff will not help.

- go source by source
- start with forwarded bugs with fixed-upstream tag: check what is the
  upstream status, figure out when they were closed, why, in which
  actual Debian source is the fix (in case reassign), and close properly
- check the non-forwarded bugs: see whether they are reproducible with
  the versions in unstable, check whether there is an upstream bug about
  them (in case set as forwarded URL), possibly forward upstream, etc

IMHO being realistic about the fact that there is not enough manpower
is one thing, while closing bugs outright without even looking at them
is another thing, which does not give us a good impression by the users
("I reported a bug, and they closed it without even reading it").

Sure, ksmtp can be already prepared, and sent to NEW for experimental.
