+Bugs needs regular attention.  A large backlog of bugs is
+disheartening to the developers, and a culture of ignoring bugs is
+harmful to users, who expect software that works.  Bugs have to be
+regularly looked at and acted upon.  Not all bugs are critical, but at
+the least, each bug needs to be regularly re-reviewed to make sure it

+The process of going through old or new bugs and acting on them is
+called bug triage.  This process is described in the file
