I started today from the top, closing as many tickets as seemed reasonable.

It seems like the first 100 tend to be feature requests that require a
significant amount of work with perhaps little gain. The middle seems
to be more where we started letting bugs pile up do to our constrained
resources dealing with the new project.

I'd recommend instead of just purposely trying to close the oldest
100, everyone goes through the list and closes as much as possible,
regardless of assignee, milestone, priority, or type. It'd be easier
to make significant progress that way.

closed 2,169 tickets so far!
