" summary

Counts and tools matter: Mozilla shows 450 new reports a day, Wikimedia/Wikipedia and GNOME have different scales, and concrete practices follow. Bugzilla tweaks (a needinfo flag, a ready state), a GreaseMonkey/extension for one‑click canned replies, saved‑search cleanup and dashboards, plus experiments with gentle mass closes and one‑file‑per‑issue repos all get described and tested. Watch if the talk’s concrete numbers, extensions built, and triage outcomes decide whether these methods work for large trackers.
