The automated script has no way of knowing the specifics of these bugs; go comment 'this still matters' and change them out of NEEDINFO. The bug triaging team is following the best path forward they had decided upon; there is no possible way for a scripted bugzilla cleaning tool to decide if all the information is there to solve that bug.

Do the triage messages just go to the requester or to everybody
(requester, maintainer, CCs)?  If they only go to the requester, then
one rule to try would be if the last comment was from the requester,
send a notice to the maintainer.  In most cases, if the requester was
the last person to comment, there's nothing more they can do unless
asked for more info.

I think any comment posted to the bug should go out to all CC's, so I would think anyone on the list got those messages including the maintainers. I'm not positive whether there did or not, but unless CC's are specifically excluded it should have.

Also, that idea is interesting but problematic for bugs where the original reporter disappeared but a secondary commenter provided the necessary info. It might have caught a few cases, but would have needed human review too because some bugs that reporter comments back something like 'Ill look at this soon' which really was not the requested info; that bug needs closed if they haven't reported back the right info, so leaving it would be clutter that the triaging missed.
