T113189, for example, were tagged by a bot after patches were merged that
didn't completely close the bugs.
Ostensibly: bugs that affect MW 1.26. In theory, it'd be good to get it
to zero before we release.... in theory.
We have a few tens of thousands of open MediaWiki-related tasks, most of
which probably "affect" MW 1.26 in some way. Using #MW-X.XX-release for
tracking blockers is just not realistic; that project gets added to any
task where there was any recent progress (and it's probably not present on
tasks where nothing was merged recently, even if it's about a serious bug
that should block the release) . There should be a separate, manually added
project for blockers.
