My comment was a generalization. A good number of patches that are 5 months old won't apply cleanly to trunk, so they are effectively abandoned. Of course, there will always be exceptions - but this is the sort of thing that I would expect a human triager to be able to identify. The other thing to keep in mind is that 'activity' on a ticket isn't just new patches or development comments - it can be as simple as a user adding themselves as a CC to the ticket. This is one way for the core developers to identify which tickets have a lot of interest in the community - For example, #2070 (streaming uploads). #3566 (aggregates), #6095 (m2m intermediates) have fairly regular activity, even if new patches aren't being uploaded. > The only issue here is that only core developers can unassign tickets, > but atleast the pinging step can be performed by other people, thus > taking off some load from the core developers. Good suggestion. I'm planning to have a bit of a fiddle with that part of the docs tonight; I'll roll this suggestion into the mix.
