Thanks for calling attention to this.

I haven't done any NEW processing here, however:

I have made a dent today in the ubuntu-archive bug list.

I would suggest that a gentle nudge for us to process the bugs is more
useful than an email with a static list of currently open bugs.

Demotions of packages that are listed on component-mismatches also certainly
don't need discussion; we routinely process these and drive the list down to
zero before release.  Demotions are the easy part!
