Should we have a concerted effort to assess remaining 3.1 bugs to either
close or relabel as 3.2?

Sounds like a good idea to me. Marek, what do you think?

Yes, indeed. There is currently 113 such bugs open. I'd guess most of
them also affect 3.2, so IMO migrating to "3.2 updates" milestone should
be the default action. But if someone could take a look at the list and
close those related to 3.1 only, that would be great. Then, I could move
remaining ones to 3.2 in a scripted way.

I'm happy to take this - it would, I think, be good to see if we can build up a
team of testers to run a more formal testing strategy, so I'll ask on
the lists if anyone is interested in joining.
Then allocate outstanding issues, and have folk work though them with
reports back - I'll collate and Andrew/Marek can update the issues. (Oh
no, this sounds like my day job.)
If you think this sounds too formal let me know. Otherwise, I'll start
tomorrow and I think we should be able to work through those in short
order, at least at first triage.

One thought: I suspect we'll have a hard time finding testers (who
actually follow through with performing tests and reporting back) in a
timely fashion, so I would err on the side of closing stale issues and
allowing people to comment/reopen/resubmit them if they're still live
issues in R3.2 or later. Other than that, please go ahead! :)
