We had a policy where I worked for some time, that if a bug is
inactive for some time, and cannot be reproduced by the developer,
will be force closed.
This would be applicable to freenet, because if a problem still
exists, users will open a ticket, you cannot expect that users will
search for an open ticket before opening a new one.
