This is not an accurate description of the situation

If you look at trac, there are
 690    open tickets
 176    reopened tickets
2307    new tickets
5033    fixed tickets
1751    invalid tickets
 280    wont fix tickets
 565    duplicate tickets
 266    non reproduceable tickets
 593    tickets waiting for user input

What you can see here, is there are only 690 open tickets, that is not thousands

there are also 593 Tickets marked as needs_more_input,
these should not end on a read only system


We can also look at the last modified dates on tickets

last modified:
new (re)open
337    104      in 2024-09-23 to 2025-09-23
353     80      in 2023-09-23 to 2024-09-23
328     93      in 2022-09-23 to 2023-09-23
159     59      in 2021-09-23 to 2022-09-23
162     66      in 2020-09-23 to 2021-09-23
141     74      in 2019-09-23 to 2020-09-23
145     36      in 2018-09-23 to 2019-09-23
132     35      in 2017-09-23 to 2018-09-23
139     61      in 2016-09-23 to 2017-09-23
130     75      in 2015-09-23 to 2016-09-23

we have ATM 2307 new tickets, 1018 of these are
from the last 3 years.

I dont think droping all this, achieves anything positive.
You will have the same number of new tickets within 2-3 years, and
loss of past analysis/work on these issues.

thx

Complexity theory is the science of finding the exact solution to an
approximation. Benchmarking OTOH is finding an approximation of the exact
