[meta issue] track down & close stalled/obsolete issues to clean up the issue tracker #1750

Closed ia closed 1 year ago

Hello. Just go to TL;DR if you don't want to read my rant :)

Otherwise... I'm kinda relatively new here. Unfortunately I'm not as good in low-level hardware microelectronics as others. But this project is so awesome that I try to help it in every way possible - with docs, scripts, build system, tiny improves in code where I'm capable.

Recently I had some time for the issue tracker itself. I looked through every comment in every opened issue (some of the comments were super-interesting by the way, so many interesting people in the community there), I kid you not! So you wouldn't have to. Because I'm fully aware that the crew is very busy with more important & useful things. However I noticed that there are a lot of opened issues where there is no any update, even from the reporters, even when @discip or @River-Mochi very kindly & very politely asked the reporters to update the info on the report.

Key take-aways from some issues if I would have been asked to summarize:

TL; DR:

Here is a brief list of the opened issues which, in my humble opinion, just should be closed forcefully by the project owners who have the permission to do that:

to close as solved/fixed/implemented:

to close as not relevant/out-of-dated:

to verify by extra pair of eyes before closing but very suitable candidates:

Consider this as the first brief run through opened issues - if/once these will be closed, I will double-sweep the rest of opened ones. The idea is to close this issue once at least the ones from the list above will be closed.

However, if this suggestion (just by a person from the side) is wrong in any way and it's too much (i.e. telling the crew ~what to do~ to close other issues) then just let me know and I will close this issue in no time myself and won't bother you with that. But if you agree that some old issues should be cleaned up, then here there the list and you would have to dedicate just ~15-20 minutes of your time to click, scroll through (to check after me whether I'm right or wrong) & close them.

As always, can't wait to hear what do you think.

And I fully understand that people may be very-very busy with their lives & problems so not having time to update the report is ok but in such case if some issue turned out to be still valid it always can be re-opened easily.
