Auto-expiration is a Launchpad feature that can be enabled on a per-project (but not per-source) basis. So, some non-Ubuntu Launchpad using projects may have it flipped on. Ubuntu made the decision that auto-expiring bugs was not desireable, so in Ubuntu the "expires in X days" is more of just a hint for triagers and reporters. > > So... I think this isn't a problem.

Sure. There was a brief period a while ago when this was turned on by default for Ubuntu, which may be what you remember. AFAIK all bugs that were closed due to this, were reopened.
