Hmm, you are a lazy maintainer. Compare (a) and (b) below:

(a) The user does not give enough information to reproduce the bug,
the bug is not reproducible, or both. In this case, I agree, lack of
user input is a reason to close the bug.

(b) The user provides plenty of details about how to reproduce a bug,
and the bug is reproducible. The maintainer is silent for several
years about the bug. After a few years, maintainer asks "can you still
reproduce the bug?", as if it were impossible for him to reproduce the
bug by himself. One month later, "lack of user input" is used as a
poor excuse to close the bug.

Do you see a difference between (a) and (b) or am I the only one to see it?

If you see a difference, please do not close bugs so gratuitously in
the future.

Thanks.
