A bugzilla feature to automatically close bugs these bugs after a set period of inactivity would certainly help. Dunno if it's possible, though. :) Otherwise, some review used to be done, but there's been a negative opinion about closing bugs w/ sucky broken ebuilds as WONTFIX/CANTFIX expressed by some of the devs; as it stands now - it's basically impossible to reasonably track the bugs unless it can be sorted by status and users reopen the bugs when they think they've fixed the outstanding issues... Finally - I'd suggest marking all ebuild *requests* as CANTFIX or NEEDINFO or whatever you think would be best resolution, there's tons of bugs w/ ebuilds submitted that can't find a maintainer. If you want something in portage, do you homework at least and attempt an ebuild.
