I took another run at closing github issues. As the backlog is tracking
newer and newer, I would encourage anyone who has worked an issue to check
if it maybe has been resolved. If a patch has been merged upstream I think
we can consider the issue resolved unless a backport seems necessary, and if
so, and the backport has not been done, indicate so in the issue (and then
let's get the issue up on the Kanban project board so we can more easily
track it.)
