Thanks for your interest!

Woof! is the way to track issues, at least eventually.
It works by indexing the mailing list, so using Woof! simply saves you
from the noise of non-bug messages we get here.
You may also follow the whole mailing list if that's ok for you.

Woof! is still in early development, and we have an annoying bug there
causing some issues to remain open even after marking them closed.

   Bastien, can we do something about it? This problem keeps confusing
   potential contributors.

AFAIK, the new bug reports will consistently appear in the list. So, you
can take a look at the latest reports. They are likely to be unfixed.
You can also subscribe to see new bug reports via RSS:
https://tracker.orgmode.org/bugs.rss

As you can see, marking things completed is just a bug in Woof that we
should eventually solve. Woof! is written in Clojure and developed in
https://sr.ht/~bzg/woof/. Probably it is not what you want. (Or, if you
do, I am sure that Bastien will welcome contributions there.)

For triaging the bugs, you can look at the bugs without any response and
the bugs without _my_ response. These are the bugs I did not triage yet.
