-10 When this was last proposed 5 years ago, I went through Jira and made sure that every issue older than the cutoff date had some sort of recent activity so nothing was eligible for automatic closure. I'd rather not have to hack the process like this again. I routinely find and sometimes fix bugs that go back to the oldest ones in JIra. If more devs spent more time triaging old bugs, they'd find more too. I'd also like to encourage people to deliberately close bugs that are in fact invalid, unwise, or already fixed. Surprisingly often I find a final comment from an active committer or PMC member that lays out in detail how the bug has been addressed or why it shouldn't be addressed, but they have not pressed the button to close the bug. Please press the button. However, this needs to be done issue by issue, not as a bulk close of all issues older than some arbitrary date. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elh...@ibiblio.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
