In the past, what happens to the still-open bugs against an EOL'd
release has been decided by the individual package owner.
I've seen..
* Move all bugs to currently open release
* Move all bugs to rawhide
* Close bugs WONTFIX
* "please upgrade" msg, NEEDINFO, wait a while, ->WONTFIX
* Nothing, bugs left open, users left unaware that no fix is coming.
all used as potential strategies for dealing with this, but it
would be good to have a unified message. It would also probably
be much faster for bugzilla admins to run some SQL query than
each developer doing this by hand (last time I did it for the
kernel, it took several hours for the 'change multiple bugs'
thing to finish, with firefox actually timing out a few times).

I would very strongly vote in favor of: "WONTFIX; please reopen this bug against F7 if it still exists there."
From one of the QA meetings a month or so back I took the action item to create a proposal for how to deal with bugzillas like this. I'll try to have something proposed on the wiki by the start of next week.
