Hi Jouni,Thanks for your reply. I disagree that it should only be applied to recent bugs.
+1. To add to it: the version field on these reports is just the version the reporter happened to test with. Nobody has triaged them since, so nobody has updated it. "Reported against an old version" really means "nobody has looked at it yet", which is a reason to look at it, not a reason to close it.
More generally, I can see why closing old reports might have seemed reasonable when there was no realistic way to triage thousands of them by hand. LLMs and agents are changing the picture, and checking whether an old report still reproduces can now be done at a fraction of the cost. Closing them without looking, at this point, doesn't improve Qt's quality; it only improves the numbers.
And again, I also want to stress the process side. This was decided, and largely carried out, without being discussed first with the project: not on the development list, not on the user list, and not at last week's contributors' summit, which would have been the natural place to discuss it. For a change that affects every reporter and contributor, I don't think that's the right way to go about it.
