You're talking about the ones marked "Confirmed", in the "New" list
there are reports until right the moment before I downloaded the
list. 

In any case I think one of the tasks of the bug squad is to review this
old never attended bugs, ask the users if they still see the issue
(there are some issues that survive for a long time because only very
particular combination of steps reproduce them, but that still should
be fixed if they can be reproduced). A bug reported in a no longer
supported version should not be closed because of that, but because it
is invalid or because the reporter does not provide more information. 

In any case, good job everybody! It is not bad that we have reduced
the number of unattended bugs in the "Unity" package quite
significantly in a couple of days. There are still some bugs to review
if anybody wants to help.

That's life! In my experience 99% of the reports are either
incomplete (lack information to reproduce), invalid or non
reproducible.  A lot others are opinions, feature requests. 
And don't forget the main goal of this squad is triaging, not fixing
bugs.
