Aha. But if I look into the Regressions that are still open, they 
have been worked on and they have pull requests so to me they 
look pretty much closed. But the Bug Tracker list them as new - 
not even assigned to someone.

Yeah, I know. But even most of them are far from a state "new", I 
would think.
Maybe the state should reflect this progress better, because 
these 3000 open and unassigned bug give a much worse impression 
of the state of D than the language really is in.
People get easy turned away from D by that look, which I think 
would be easy to avoid.
