Hi. Yes, bug maintenance is appreciated. See this message and replies
to it: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2016-04/msg00258.html .
Replies in your link suggest to leave a final comment in bugs with
explanatory suggestion to close them so that maintainers who read
gcc-bugs list hopefully notice them and act appropriately.
Unfortunately I found this to _not_ work in practice. Below you can
see a list of bugs I've investigated (and often bisected) in the past
weeks - none of them were closed by maintainers (or at least
commented).
So I'm afraid we have to conclude that there's no working process to
close stale bugs in place (which may be one of the reasons of bugcount
growth).
The informal process that some (most?) of us have been following
is to close them with a comment explaining our rationale. It's
good to fill in the Known to fail/Known to work versions if they
can be determined. Mentioning the commit that fixed the bug as
you did for the bugs below is ideal. Adding a test case if one
doesn't exist in the test suite is also very useful, though quite
a bit more work. In my experience, if a bug is closed that should
stay open, someone usually notices pretty quickly and reopens it,
so I wouldn't be too worried about doing something wrong.
The process for managing bugs is in more detail described here:

If you think it should be clarified in some way please feel free
to send in a patch.
