Well, the problem is that as time passed, more bugs 'got old', and
went on the list.

That would be a bit overboard post wise. There would be a post a day,
but only one bug a day looked at. More can easily be done (I used to
go through several dozen a day, but have gotten busier).

Sure:

has bugs that are 6 months old, which brings the list down to a more
manageable 281 (and more likely fixed as well).
