I can understand that and from what I've seen so far during the cleaning
I can only say that you are right. A lot of the bugs reported for
versions before PHP 5.6 are still open. But going through all the 3000+
issues currently open agains PHP 5 is a LOT of effort. multiply that by
2 to also check whether they are still relevant.
As far as I see it there simply isn't the manpower to do that. We sadly
do not live in an ideal world but in Real Life(TM).
So giving the feedback that the issue was reported against an
unsupported version of PHP and asking the reporter to (re)open the issue
when it still is persistent in a supported version distributes that load
onto more shoulders.
And when it is obvious that the issue is still open, we can easily alter
the PHP-Version within the issue instead of closing it.
For the future an automated mechanism as described earlier would be
awesome. And that would spread the load back onto the reporter as well.
