I agree with most stating that you can't just close tickets, but I do recommend that tickets need to be checked upon and acted on when: * A new minor/major version is released. If the ticket is also related to the newer version include this version into the ticket so people know it's

Hi David. First off, well done for getting your first PR merged today!  Then, thanks for raising this; it's worth talking about at least. I too would like to bring the ticket count down, but I would like to do it by fixing them.  I think there are two approaches here. Certainly on DRF,

Hello, I'm looking for someone to walk me through a fast path to getting active on the community and start solving tickets! I know there is a lot of docs, but it will be extra time of my working day, so it will be very nice to be somehow mentored through delivering than reading lots of docs!

I'm also strongly against closing an "idle" tickets. Sometimes tickets are solved after many years (even 9, 10, or more). Age doesn't make them less valid. In "open tickets scale" 4-5 years is not a long time. Closing tickets just because they're old or because we would like to get a better

I'm also not sure of the value of closing stalled tickets. Closing them makes them less visible, and as Claude says, they're still valid. Often I find one that's been open years has "come up again" on the mailing list or client work. The fellows are the ones who work the most with ticketing

Sorry but I would *strongly* oppose any idea of closing a ticket because noone commented in the last x years. Most of those tickets are still valid issues, but they remain open because noone dedicated the appropriate time to solve them, sometimes because the problem is a corner case, sometimes

I have seen other open source project handling that with a comment saying the ticket will be closed in a short time. I assume closing with a comment it's fine to reopen if it's still relevant would be fine. Maybe also tagging the tickets with a label "closed as stalled" ? On Fri, Sep 27, 2019,
