To do this, it is very helpful that unfinished tickets are *not* closed, 
because this gives me the "interesting" tickets with a single click: I hide 
all the closed ones.  Usually only a few remain, and the older among those 
tell me the story I want to listen to.

One major annoyance for this scheme was that, some time in the past, 
tickets were automatically modified with a message similar to "As the 
Sage-8.8 release milestone is pending,...next release milestone (sage-8.9)."

 
That's a relevant data point: indeed, "stale" PRs are not "closed" PRs 
(which would include integrated PRs and truly discarded ones). The "stale" 
PRs need to be differentiated from them so that they can show up in 
searches. So perhaps "closing" them isn't the right thing to do.

However, if changing a tag on them changes a modification date and 
therefore changes where they show up in searches, wouldn't that give a 
handle to distinguish them? Just search on PRs that have a recent 
modification date? Then tickets would automatically become "stale" just by 
being not modified.

So if some people are advocating a tag (because otherwise there is no way 
to distinguish stale tickets) and other people are advocating *not* a tag, 
because that would ruin a way to distinguish stale tickets, perhaps these 
people should compare notes and investigate convenient search criteria.
