However, old bugs aren't necessarily bad. The thing is that lots of these bugs have had answers for a long time now, some even have led to the creation of alioth projects to handle the packages, and the bugs are still open. It appears to me that, while more help may be welcomed to these packages, most don't seem to really need help anymore, and these old bugs clutter the wnpp reports and make them less useful, and a bit annoying (I confess I've checked the RFH for gtkpod several times now, to only find help isn't really needed anymore). Shouldn't package maintainers close these bugs when they have received help? As an informational note, of the 20 RFH of this month, only 5 are newer than 50 days old, with 7 over a year old.
