From ooo-qa. We can see a lot old bugs on issues.apache.org. Can we begin
removing? It's a key thing for project? I volunteer to this.
Eg, https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=4549 (10 years old)
The age of the bug does not automaticly mean that they are solved. If
they are CONFIRMED you can recheck them. Sametimes the are realy solved,
but the moast are still valid issues. Same issues we can cloase, for
exemple if they are Win98 only or so.
Unconfirmed issues who are older then 2 years we can realy close I think.
Greetings Raphael
PS: Welcome to the black hole Bugzilla ;-)
In general closing bugs because they are simply too old is a clear -1
for me.
Of course, only a closed bug is a good bug. But you need a good reason
for closing them. The reasons are given as resolved status in BZ. I
don't see "Closed, Too Old" there. ;-)
So, please try to check first if the issue:
- is already solved
- is no longer relevant due to license and therefore code change
- is not reproducible with its problem description
- is invalid as it's no real bug report, etc.
My 2 ct.
