You can eliminate most of the noise by taking into account only messages from the prospective adopter (i.e. the owner of the WNPP bug). See ~vela/ita-age.pl on merkel for a sample implementation; as of today it lists 20 ITAs older than 250 days. However, there is an important gotcha with retitling ITAs: currently we have no reliable way to determine whether the package was previously up for adoption (RFA) or orphaned (O). The natural solution is to migrate WNPP bugs to BTS tags. If I'm remembering correctly, Anthony Towns talked on IRC about using orphaned/up-for-adoption tags combined with pending to mark ITAs. The expiry script would then simply remove the pending tag. This would also prevent merged bugs from getting into conflicting states since (unlike titles) they share a single set of tags (see #310181 for an example of the problem).
