That is complete nonsense. As long as a bug report is valid, it should not be closed. Only if it cannot be determined whether it is valid, would closing become an option. The fact that an issue has not been dealt with can be more an indication of the fact that nobody is sufficiently interested to really look into it than that the issue does not exist. Closing such bug reports would only result in that information being lost.
