It says, in part:
Your bug was confirmed at least 1 year ago and has not had any
activity on it for over a year.

This, of course, makes "at least 1 year ago" and "over a year" true,
but they are understatements. FWIW, I agree with Stuart that
three-hundred-odd is a good number to hit.
Can you capture and publish a list of the bugs you ping this way?
Then we can:
(1) See what results from the ping. Idle curiosity is not to be
denied, but we might learn something useful.
(2) Get quickly on the case where the original confirmer is absent or
not cc'd in the bug report or the reporter responds with a
question.
(3) Graciously thank reporters for staying interested for over two
years. If we have thoughts about the next step toward a fix, this
would be a good time to state them. Not to suggest that
boilerplate text is the best we can do, but perhaps some selection
of:
(*) Thank you for making the effort to respond after we allowed
your report to languish so long.
(*) Having this bug resolved helps the project to focus on
outstanding bugs.
(*) From your comment, it seem that the situation has changed; I
am updating the bug summary accordingly.
(*) I am unsure what the next step should be; setting needQAAdvice
in whiteboard.
(*) I am setting status NEW to return this bug to the developers.

We welcome complaints from anybody who has done the work. <grin />
Thank you for this work.
