GHC 7.10.1 tickets

[Austin Seipp]

Hello *,

We need to be sorting out tickets for 7.10.1. Last week, I spent some
time remilestoning things to get them into the rough correct places
(roughly), but we all need some help to get an idea of what we should
fix for the release.

Here's a query to look at:

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/query?status=!closed&milestone=7.10.1&order=priority

I have already categorized these tickets roughly, but we'll probably
still address some of the priorities on existing tickets of course.

These are all of the 7.10.1 tickets currently, but there are some
important things to note:

 1) There are a lot of them!

 2) Most of the development team is probably not going to pay
attention to many of them unless they are high or highest priority in
Trac. (That's just the result of having so many tickets for 7.10.1 at
the moment.)

So I'm asking if people out there with the time can help chip in and
give some input on the ticket!

 - If there's a ticket that interests you, please comment on it!

 - Say why you think it should have its priority elevated for 7.10.1.

 - It will certainly be easier if you offer to help.

Then we can move it upwards and we'll look at it.

Finally, if you are *really* dedicated or a newcomer - please go
through the tickets and see if any of them can be closed, reassigned,
marked as duplicates, etc. There are certainly some dead tickets and
probably easy tickets for newcomers, so just spend a few minutes
looking if you're interested! (Otherwise they just end up getting
punted off in batch modifications)

Thanks!
