What about things that aren't necessarily small fixable bugs. Some
projects have long discussions about design or philosophy or some major
architecting. Or a bug that is pending somebody coming up with a good
solution (like for example ZFS's encryption issue which was open for
years). Will people need to constantly comment with `+1` just to reopen?
Also if an issue is closed it may increase the number of duplicate
issues, instead of adding onto the closed issue.

interested in seeing the issue fixed are reminded of the issue so they
can continue fixing it, as well as automatically weeding out the
issues that are no longer important.
All the *real* issues will stay active, since people will reopen them.
All the rest will be available in the history.
I think 14 days is enough time between reminders for an open source
project. Shorter is annoying since we can't work on open source every
day, and longer will just lead to more stale issues.

Agreed.
But if the problem is you think old issues are skewing the
results/making it hard to find the signal, then can't you just use
more intelligent search filters? E.g., things created in the past
3 months.

There is something to be said for auto-closing issues after a
long time (e.g.
Fedora auto-closes inactive issues from CURRENT-2 releases
ago), but 14 days is
waaaay to short. Bugs don't disappear after 14 days...
