33 The problem is that, in reality, some bugs are forgotten and are keep
34 opened. Currently, I manually check for them, but it's sometimes hard to
35 do this manually. The idea of generating a QA report (like others in
36 http://qa-reports.gentoo.org/) would allow me to easily review that list
37 periodically to check that obsolete bugs are closed.
