Not immediately, but that is no reason to close it off.  There is real
work that can be done here, especially after work on startup times.

Leaving the report open does bring it to the attention of people

"me toos" is not really the character of bugs.d.o.  Lack of these does

Yes.  For these and similar reasons many bugs are left open.  Closing
the reports does not make the issues go away.
