Ryan, I am in the process of going through the bugs as well.  You may 
like to read the thread regarding this effort from last month.  Look for 
the thread scheduled transactions make bad transactions with 1.8.9  
<https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2004-June/010632.html>and  
Bug Triage.  I am going through the list from oldest to newest and add 
myself as a CC where I've added co

My first goal is to have read all of the bugs to identify possible 
duplicates.  Those bugs that I can identify as bugs (rather then 
enhancement requests) I am trying to reproduce on my system running GC 
1.8.9 and comment on what I find or request additional information.  I'm 
still trying to get my feet wet with this but eventually we would want 
to come up with a standard procedure on how to deal with a bug that can 
not be reproduced, doesn't get any response from the reporter, etc.

Currently, I am going through the list from oldest to newest and I'm 
adding myself as a CC when I'm commenting on a bug.  You might want to 
do the same going through the list from newest to oldest.
