> In this sense bug reports against abandoned alpha checkers (which are, unfortunately, the majority) aren't very useful. In most cases it's just too easy to see how broken they are.

Although the majority are like that, not all of them are. Some like the Conversion checker doesn't seem to have any issues(because its fairly limited at this point). Others like StreamChecker probably just needs some simple fixes. Maybe we can move the alpha checks that have lots of issues and no contributions for awhile to another category such as abandoned.

I am definitely interested in working on getting some of the checkers stable, and have already started some work on expanding the ConversionChecker, but would like user feedback as I move forward.
