Developers are generally focussed on fixing bugs. Also the way bugzilla
works a lot of developers don't close the bugs and the originators never
get around to it.

Now if you want to clean up bugzilla then what would be really useful
(and probably quite tedious) is a list of all the bugs which end either in

- confirmation it is fixed, but the bug is not closed

- confirmation that it cannot be reproduced, but the bug is not closed

- with a question asking for more information which has had no reply in
  say 3 months

Given lists of bugs in those categories I can then go and zap them.
