Indeed they are not closed automatically and that is in purpose. Orphaned
packages are still in the repos and thus the bug may very well still be valid.
Leaving it open allows maintainers or other users to find them and be aware of
the issue and potentially catch up with the discussion that occurred on the
ticket.
They are then closed when the release goes EOL.
It is only one obstacle to make it happen.
As long as package is orphaned no longer it has maintainer (human maintainer).
Go to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora -> enter as component name gdhcpd and you will suddenly find that you are able to open the ticket for Fedora 26, 27 and rawhide (sic!)
Go to https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdhcpd and look on right side where are branches names and you will find that latest Fedora version for which this package has been released was Fedora 11 (no EPEL)
As admin of this package is listed "orphan (orphan) - main admin"
How this dummy packages is maintaining still assigned to this package Bugzilla tickets?
Is that all still correct?
