I'm fascinated by projects that are so stable that specific issues remain relevant for this long, and at the same time persistently active, so that someone eventually steps up and fixes those issues.

Any big, mature project is going to have issues that keep getting bumped down the priority queue for core contributors. With open source at least there's the possibility of an external contributor being motivated enough to fix them.
