I'm so relieved that stale-bot didn't become as common as I feared it would. I hardly ever see it these days, and good riddance!

my impression of the mozilla firefox bugtracker too - you might be taken aback by the lifetime of some long standing bugs, but what is confirmed, stays open.

You'll collect low effort comments, but at least it avoids duplicates and the discussion is preserved in-thread.

That impression lead me to meaningfully contribute in the bugtracker.
