[gentoo-dev] About adding a way to check for bugs referring to no longer existing packages in the tree
Hello From time to time I see old bug reports that are still wrongly opened and referring to old packages no longer in the tree. Would be possible to add a way to periodically check for bugs referring in summary to obsolete packages and, then, allow us to have a cleaner bug list? If the bug is referring to an overlay, it should state that in summary (like we do with [gnome-overlay] bugs) and skip checking for them.

Rebuilding is not an option because they are binary-only. Unless someone grabs a HEX editor or something and edits the binaries directly ... good luck with that - Samuli
