</span>You're right, there is a status "Expired" which can be set by a script<br>
(but not the web UI). I don't have a strong reason to not use it.<br>
<br>
As explained in the original email, I intend to add this comment to the<br>
expired bug reports:<br>
<span class=""><br>
This is an automated cleanup. This bug report got closed because<br>
it is older than 18 months and there is no open code change to<br>
fix this. After this time it is unlikely that the circumstances<br>
which lead to the observed issue can be reproduced.<br>
If you can reproduce it, please:<br>
* reopen the bug report<br>
* AND leave a comment "CONFIRMED FOR: <RELEASE_NAME>"<br>
Only still supported release names are valid.<br>
valid example: CONFIRMED FOR: LIBERTY<br>
invalid example: CONFIRMED FOR: KILO<br>
* AND add the steps to reproduce the issue (if applicable)<br>
<br>
</span>I'm open for suggestions to make this sound better. Thanks for this<br>
feedback.<br>
