+1 to stop auto closing During conference talks and presentations, we usually ask community to ‘contribute’ bug reports. When they do, closing the bug as WONTFIX, many a times without any triage from the project side, gives the impression that we don’t value the effort of the ‘contributor’. As a developer, I think auto closing is only helpful (to me) when there is no response for a long time on a bug marked as need-info, otherwise I have to add a comment and close it myself.

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. 2) Auto-closing gives the impression “I don’t care”. Mark it stale instead 3) 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).
