Ok, I'll start doing that on all bugs older than 10 years. If there is
no reaction after at least one month, I'll close them as RESOLVED.
By the way, I found some bugs, which were already commented this way by
"Wm", but without setting status to NEEDINFO. And he/she didn't close
the bugs. I'll close these as well, if there is no reaction after at
least one month. See https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459278 for
instance.

Colin,
That's a worthwhile idea that could be easily applied to all bugs over n years
old. One could start with n around 10, perhaps meaning everything against
versions before 2.4.0. Care to spend some quality time in Bugzilla?
Regards,

Possibly an alternative, used in Ubuntu for example, is when a version
goes out of support that any bugs against that version have a comment
added saying the version is out of support, saying that if the bug is
relevant to a later version then please to post a comment, and marking
the bug as needing info, so it will expire after a time if there is no
input,

John,
Is there perhaps a need to place maintenance limits on GnuCash release
versions, i.e. at a specified time after release they become unsupported,
as is bugs and all. This is more than likely what actually happens in
practice given limited skilled developer time. As bug reports are often tied
to a specific version, bugs could then be removed from bugzilla when the
version they apply to becomes unsupported. Most bugs are not show stoppers
and those that are or are particularly inconvenient are usually fixed fairly
quickly after release.
Enhancement requests could possibly have a longer lifetime but perhaps there
is a need for expiry on those as well. E.g. if they didn't make it into the
next major release and you really need that feature you raise the issue
again (or work on it yourself).
