Please consider the opinions of your committers and contributors as at least relatively important.   We're explaining to you what is important to us and why we feel that way.  We don't really so much appreciate our opinions being dismissed as not important to you.   We have higher expectations from our PMC leads.

If the disease is "lack of triage", we feel that unfortunately the "auto triage close cure" is even worse than that disease. We're asking you to please stop sending the patients home with a robot.   We might not do a good job curing the patients and we could and should definitely discuss how to improve our cure rate and our patient satisfaction statistics, but in the meanwhile please stop making the problem worse with a robot.  And please don't characterize what we say as "just not important" because that's just plain disrespectful.

    I fully agree. In fact, I consider any bug that is closed and
    marked as 'stalebug' as open.

    Also, back in the day there seemed to be a different triage
    process, and correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that bugs that
    are marked as being triaged are not auto-closed. At least some
    very old bugs do not get auto-closed.
    I know that it is hard to manage the huge back-log of issues. But
    there seems also hardly any focus on new incoming bugs, they are
    ignored until they are finally automatically closed, which gives a
    really bad impression on the overall quality of the projects.


You nailed it! It's pointless discussion whether bugs are autoclosed or not aka stay open without anyone looking into it or being closed without anyone looking into it. What's important is who will triage and fix bugs, look into gerrits and etc.? I'm very interested in the later discussion and until we improve on it, discussing the former is just non-important to me.

        I agree. It’s happened to many bugs I raised over the years
        even when they are provably still valid, and it gives a really
        bad impression to end users for limited gain.
