Turns out I switched it on in some projects but not all. I simply forgot about 
it.

I will rectify this during the next days. Please note that this will trigger 
quite a few warnings about upcoming closure and it would give Jason a limited 
window to resolve. Therefore this has to be in stages. Likely I will start with 
2018 issues.

iirc, said tool was implemented as two (?) "cron jobs" running daily (?)
entirely inside jira. the timeouts for the heads-up and subsequent
closure were measured in weeks.

alex' announcement is here:

dunno what went wrong ...

Thanks Ossi.  That's useful information (and I like the other changes mentioned 
there too).  I will file a bug in the QTJIRA project asking for those cronjobs 
to be reinstated and a human to be notified if they break again.

Cheers,
