Heh, only 9 and a half years? That's just a baby. ;)One I've always remembered was #998¹, to check package signatures in the installer. It's been closed for a few years now, but it had the alias 'oldest-bug-evar' for a while. But that wasn't ignored. It was just not something anyone could agree on a proper fix, for various reasons.
There are certainly plenty of bugs open for frustratingly long times, I'd never argue against that. I've got some open for the git package which are fairly old, so I've felt this from both sides.
But hey, at least this isn't Atlassian. I've watched bugs for their commercial products rot away for years and years, over trivial things that paying customers want.
