Kind Regards, Stefan Hi, I share Rüdiger point of view. However, in the past, there has already been some mass updates (random example BZ 55039) It has been done more than 1 year after the official EOL of the 2.2.x branch and only targeted 2.0.x and 2.2.x bugs. I'm fine with the extensive explanation added and with the timing, long enough after EOL. This approach could be refined with mass closing old entries tagged against HEAD. For example in BZ 41088, 2.5-HEAD was certainly not against the actual 2.5 when opened in 2006. Such mass-updates can be done directly within the bugzilla HMI. Not sure if it requires some special rights, but should it need some special karma, some of us already have it. CJ

What is the issue with keeping them open? I guess this would be the most honest choice. If we decide deliberately that we don't want to do something we can close it explicitly as WONTFIX. Otherwise I think we have no one in our back that forces us to close tickets within a particular time frame to meet whatever KPI :-) Regards Rüdiger

I'd suggest a two-step process with STALLED or similar as a first step
(including explanations/reasoning on why it's done, and suggestions on
how to help the issue along), and then the WONTFIX close if nothing
happens.
Just automatically closing issues out without warning might be
considered rude, and likely deter affected individuals from reporting
further issues. At least, I find such projects rude.
