I had phase of life when I worked on these archaeologic tickets. I even managed 
to process eight years old ticket!
Yes, for most tickets it was: Ping! Wait one month. Than one more gentle Ping! 
And if submitter does not respond, then I
closed the ticket.
But I never done that en-masse. For every such ping, I was prepared to work on 
that ticket.

It may sounds appealing to clean the plate and "resolve" a lot of tickets. 
However, think about it from the other side:
somebody is waiting for review for years, then a ping will come, and if he 
responds, then ... nothing. Just "yeah, we
are not going to close this". That is not very welcome. :(
