At the end of February the total of open reports over recent months was 58.
Of those, 12 got closed, but with 15 new reports from March/April still
open, the total is now up at 61 open reports.
The workboard overall (which includes pre-2019 tasks) has 178 tasks open.
This is actually down by a bit for the first time since October with
December at 196, January at 198, and February at 199, and now April at 178.
This was largely due to the Release Engineering and Core Platform teams
closing out forgotten reports that have since been resolved or otherwise
obsoleted.
