Take a look at the workboard and look for tasks that could use your help. → https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/wikimedia-production-error/
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.
