* Review old bugs: The [http://bugs.octave.org Octave bug tracker] has over 1,000 reports dating all the way back to 2010.  Some have patches submitted but can no longer be directly applied to the current codebase. Some have never had patches developed. Some are old, unfulfilled wish list or missing function requests.  And some may no longer be bugs, having been fixed or rendered irrelevant due to other changes code changes over the years. Reviewing these old bugs, testing the original bug report to see if the same results still occur, if Matlab compatibility has changed, or if submitted patches can still be applied cleanly (and potentially cleaning up patches so they can apply cleanly), can help update and clean up the bug database.
