I skimmed through the list, looking for easy starters. This is 
what in the end held me back:

- comment saying how a bug-fix will break code
- unfinished discussion about how its not a bug, (or how to solve 
it, e.g. https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14485)
- halfway fixes and no clear path how to fix the other half (e.g. 
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4391, curry was renamed 
to partial to avoid confusion. Now do we still want curry?)
- unclear goals (e.g. 
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4656 `Let's keep it 
opened until the error message is fixed.`)

I do not know what to do with that stuff. In most cases I figure 
they require an executive decision.

What I can do is go through the list and recommend bugs to be 
closed/wontfix.
