I fully agree. In fact, I consider any bug that is closed and marked as
'stalebug' as open.

Also, back in the day there seemed to be a different triage process, and
correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that bugs that are marked as being
triaged are not auto-closed. At least some very old bugs do not get
auto-closed.
I know that it is hard to manage the huge back-log of issues. But there
seems also hardly any focus on new incoming bugs, they are ignored until
they are finally automatically closed, which gives a really bad impression
on the overall quality of the projects.
