+1 stop auto closing Reasons
1. Marking it as stale helps as the inbox manager/reporter/assignee goes or check if the bug is still valid and many times bugs have been fixed as a result. Only thing is no more than 2-3 bugs per day per component should be marked as stale. If 100s of bugs r marked as stale on a single day, it is counter-productive. 1. Auto-closing gives the impression “I don’t care”. Mark it stale instead 2. What does auto-close achieve? I guess “nothing” apart from artificially reducing the bug count. It helps no one.

The proposal is to switch "off" bug auto-closing for the all Eclipse platform projects, including Platform, JDT, PDE und Equinox. I don't think if we need an additional vote for PDE & Equinox, because the only active committers there are same as on the Eclipse platform. Therefore I would like to start voting to stop auto-closing bugs in bugzilla, github, gitlab (or whatever else bug trackers we might use in the future) for all Eclipse platform development. I think it is enough to post your +1 / 0 / -1 as a reply on this mailing list. Everyone is welcome to vote but binding votes are committers`votes. I would propose to conclude the vote by the end of the next week (25 February).
