I don't think so. I reviewed them and merged one by one. Or do you think
I had to wait until you fix all the several hundreds of the declared

No, I don't :) However, this is just a routine work that devs do if they
want to. AFAIUI, bugtrackers are more about user annoying bugs and
wishlists. And one of their goals is to show users the progress we have.
