backlog clean-up

[German Blanco <ge...@gmail.com>]

The project has a large backlogs of JIRAs, but many of them do not reflect
issues in the current versions.
Wouldn't it make sense to spend a little time closing obsolete JIRAs?
E.g. this one:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1392
Seems to be "Not a problem".
May I just go through the list and start resolving those that are obvious?
Or is there a better procedure to do this?

Sorry for interfering, just a thought based on my experience.
I usually prefer to run over a list of open issues, ask for comments,
(optionally) wait for a week or two and then close issue saying "Please,
feel free to reopen the issue if it still persists". I does usually work in
such environment, when reporters are not interested in your
project anymore or the issue has gone and they are a bit lazy to tell you
that. But if the issue does exist and is really itching - they usually come
back, reopen and clarify there view and answer the questions.

There is no concrete procedure afaik. Every now and then one of us goes over
the list and cleans it up a bit. One key problem is that sometimes the
people who have created the jira or contributed a patch do not responded, so
the jira remains open because we shouldn´t resolve or close an issue without
reaching agreement on whether it should be closed.

Feel free to close issues that you understand as not being a problem,
duplicate, etc. In the worst case, we will open it again.
