<p dir="auto">I think my experience using the past trackers, and the old <code>TODO</code> file, as well as other teams, showed that wishlist items that do not get addressed in a year or two will never be (of course there are exceptions). Furthermore, the maintenance of such lists that span so many years is a bureaucracy by itself, and I doubt that this list of year-long requests will ever be traversed to decide new features (seeing how other projects with many bugs handle it, saying that's a certainty is more accurate).</p>
<p dir="auto">We can increase the time to two years if you think so, but eventually we would need to be able to keep the issue tracker on a sustainable size to be able to work with it, and I think that closing inactive for 1-2 years bugs helps towards that goal. The reporter or anyone of the involved persons can of course re-open them if they think the issue is important, but something that was important 2-3 years ago, doesn't necessarily mean it is today as well.</p>
