Rather that blanket expiring old bugs, it might seem better to expire bugs
which are in non-triaged state which haven't had activity for >18 months.
This would seem like a less aggressive approach to closing issues which
haven't managed to reach triaged state and are otherwise stale.

This information is available in the API and i'd be happy to suggest a
review to change to this model if it is agreed.

Thanks
