I'm assuming you're talking only about broken builds here and not 
"QA-only" bugs. My opinion is that if a tinderbox QA script is the only 
thing finding a nonfatal bug, and it's never reported or CC'd by a user, 
then it's about as low priority as you can get.

So this might serve as a pointer to potentially unmaintained packages, 
but clearly more investigation is required before removal.
