Hi Thiago, hi list, we mostly already agreed on this at QtCS so I'd just like to stress one point: "old" should not mean the time passed since creating the bug report. There are bugs which have been listed for a long time but are still actively discussed. "Old" in this context should mean the time since the last comment, status change asf. So the nice comment would come after 1 year of silence and the report would be closed after nobody replied to that comment for three months. I assume you meant that anyway?
