Why not dedicate one quarter per year, possibly Q3, to fix the oldest
bugs in base first (except current security-issues of course) and
another quarter, possibly Q1, to fix the oldest bugs in ports first
(except current security-issues and port-updates of course).
In Q2 and Q4 there's then enough time to get new bugs fixed and new
features developed.
