It's interesting how many old bugzilla issues are still open though they're done

Yes, but look at how many of the patches are marked as 'enhancement'.
Most of the old patches have problems of various kinds: they are 
incorrect or incomplete, but still useful.
The problem is with the bugzilla keywords. We need something like a 
'partial-patch' keyword. In fact the current set of keywords is *far* 
from ideal, and the version selection is really terrible.
