Ok.. I've moved a whole bunch of bugs over from walter to nobody.  The current counts (ignoring the tiny handful of other logins that own a bug):

  +--------------------------+------------+----------+
  | login_name               | bug_status | count(*) |
  +--------------------------+------------+----------+
  | bugzilla@digitalmars.com | ASSIGNED   |        1 |
  | bugzilla@digitalmars.com | NEW        |      125 |
  | bugzilla@digitalmars.com | REOPENED   |       54 |
  | nobody@puremagic.com     | ASSIGNED   |        8 |
  | nobody@puremagic.com     | NEW        |      996 |
  | nobody@puremagic.com     | REOPENED   |       20 |
  +--------------------------+------------+----------+

I should have taken notes, but the primary reasons for moving a bug over to nobody was that it had never been commented on by walter.  Any bug that has the 'patch' keyword was left assigned to walter.

Walter, of those 180 bugs, I expect that most of them you are NOT actively
working on, so it'd be nice if you would move more back to nobody@puremagic.com.
 Ok, even nicer if they were just fixed, but one step at a time. :)

Also of note, I didn't care about the severity of the bugs when moving them, so there's regressions, blockers, etc over in the nobody bucket.  Unfortunate that they're not assigned, but it reflects reality far better this way.

Later,
Brad

Thanks for your work on what has become an invaluable resource for the D community.  Really, you do way too much for free :)

Suggestions?  Actually, I was thinking of an "Order Pizza" button.

Thanks, but I do what I do because I enjoy doing it.  That it's useful is reward enough for me.  There's plenty of others who do far more.
