There are 715 reports tagged 2.0.0 through 2.3-HEAD of Status NEW or
NEEDINFO with no Resolution.
For these bugs I believe we should simply close them with a message
that this is a mass-update, that the version is beyond EOL, and a
request for reporters/observers to retest and reopen with the
supported version number if they are still reproducible using a modern
2.4.x version. But I can't determine the best Status/Resolution
code... suggestions?
+1
IMHO, the best status would be CLOSED/WONTFIX. Maybe a new Keyword such
as TooOldAndInactive to ease finding such mass-update?
Or ask for a new status TOO_OLD (but I'm not sure it would really be
that useful)
There are 69 bugs of status REOPENED, and 20 of status ASSIGNED (?).
These should likely be reviewed by hand and either ACCEPTED against
2.4-HEAD, tagged NEEDINFO with a request to re-review (after
mass-cleanup of NEEDINFO above), or closed as above with an invitation
to retest and reopen.
+1, after by-hand review, as proposed.
There are 255 bugs of Status NEW from 2.4.1-2.4.17, releases which are
over three years old. For these, the best resolution is probably NEEDINFO.
-1.
Not sure NEEDINFO is fine for these ones. We should set NEEDINFO after
by hand review, if we NEEDINFO. Or close it if invalid, or leave it as
is if it looks right but no one has looked at it.
The reporter has done his job. He has reported what he thinks is enough.
WE should provide an answer or ask for more details.
And there are 38 2.4.x NEEDINFO bugs, most of which can likely be
closed for good as INVALID under a manual review.
+1 if older than, let say, 1 year?
The number is small, they could also be doubled check by hand. But is is
likely, that it would end as INVALID because the analysis has already
been done, and the reporter does not seem to be interested to answer.
I'm thinking of generic comment which would read (2nd paragraph for
2.0-2.3.x only);

Please help us to refine our list of open and current defects. This is
a mass update of older Bugzilla reports which reflect user error,
already resolved defects, and still-existing defects in httpd.
[...]. This is a mass update of old and inactive reports [...]
As repeatedly announced, the Apache HTTP Server Project has
discontinued all development and patch review of the 2.2.x series of
releases. The final release 2.2.34 was published in July 2017, and no
further evaluation of bug reports or security risks will be considered
or published for 2.2.x releases.
If your report represented a question or confusion about how to use an
httpd feature, an unexpected server behavior, problems building or
installing httpd, or working with an external component (a third party
module, browser etc.) we ask you to start by bringing your question to
the User Support and Discussion mailing list, see
[https://httpd.apache.org/lists.html#http-users] for details. Include
a link to this Bugzilla report for completeness with your question.
If your report was clearly a defect in httpd, we ask that you retest
using a modern httpd release (2.4.33 or later) released in the past
year. If it can be reproduced, please reopen this bug and change the
Version field above to the httpd version you have reconfirmed with.
[...] a defect in httpd or a feature request [...]
Your help in identifying only current defects in the httpd server
software is greatly appreciated.

Comments, suggestions and other feedback before we proceed to take a
broad scythe to the stale reports?
We should also forbid bug report against 2.2.x.
