[Evergreen-catalogers] Bug Squashing Week - Wednesday Update

[Terran McCanna]

Hi everyone,

The New Developers Working Group has decided to convene this afternoon
(starting at 2pm Eastern) to go through Launchpad and see if we can clear
out some old bugs that are no longer relevant, or do anything else to knock
down the total number of bugs. Anyone is welcome to join in! Meeting info
is here:
