I did a scan like that, followed by "close" a long time ago, but then I did it for 2 years old JIRAs. Perhaps you can bulk close all issues that were not updated for more than 2 years? That will generate much less spam (although I think that you can tick somewhere to not send messages for bulk operations).
We can make it a habit, like 01/01/newyear activity ... hmm .. similar to Lucene's 2-releases backwards index format policy :).
