It would be nice if there were a third state between "open" and "closed" for this.

This would be difficult even with a "lack-of-interest" keyword, now that you mention it. Today we can search for tickets that are (!closed AND [other conditions]). If we start closing stale tickets, one would have to search for tickets that are (!closed OR (closed AND keyword ~ lack-of-interest)) AND whatever other conditions you care about. vq Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
