What do I care? When I filed the bug, the product was fresh and maintained, wasn't it? But more than a year later I'm no longer willing to spend time on the same issues without a single sign of life from the package owner.
That seems like one of the fundamental problems here; I agree with you. Having filed bugs, and seeing them get closed 5 years later with "this product is no longer supported", and no developer response in between is rather disheartening.
A suggestion for a saner bugzilla automation: close packages in _NEEDINFO_ stage unless there is response from the reporter.
If the developer believes the issue is fixed or there is a high likelyhood that it has already been fixed in a newer version, s/he should set NEEDINFO state (with some help to automate this if needed) But this should not be done automatically.
