Is it true that topics get auto-locked after few weeks? That doesn't
seem pretty smart in terms of software development or user support at
all, if it's true.
The same topic is discussed here and there, it's interesting (and a bit
scary) to see feedback coming from discourse users - currently I'm
following the midnight commander ML as well, hosted at gnome.org for
historical reasons but definitely independent nowadays.
