[GRASS5] Dealing with old bug reports: new GRASS 6 bugtracker?

I removed quite a few outdated bug reports, and I can confirm the
psychological effect Markus is talking about is very real.

Personally I find it nice to /search for e.g. all open ps.map issues when I work on something.
But if it makes people happier to use the system…

And now is difficult to tell “true” bugs from cosmetic ones (in spite of the
classification).

Set the priority of cosmetic bugs to a low value then sort by priority.

Same work around for no “bug6” style filter. Just sort by area.

That's why a simple filter is needed. So we just see what we want.
