Just looked at the numbers after the weekend hoping I'd see some movement.  
Here's what I found:

Of the 38 important CVEs opened in 2014 or prior that I identified last 
Thursday as still being open one was closed, five are On_QA, and the rest don't 
really look like they've been touched in a while, with a few exceptions.

All the cases are "owned" but it looks like most haven't been followed up on 
in a while.  If you want to participate in this "contest" but don't see a way 
in here's what I suggest: if a case hasn't been followed up on in the past 
month TAKE IT!  This includes the ones I touched today but don't "own".  Let's 
crush these bugs and make Fedora better!
