To add another example: one of VS Code's releases has interesting statistics of it's issues (https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_28).

They did some housekeeping for a month and were able to close 3918 issues, but in the meantime 2187 issues were created.

Open source project management at this scale is truly hard indeed.

Wonder if Mozilla can/want to "out source" the bug triad and to current CS students or team of CS students.

Pro: Train new students to work on real work development processes, issues, teams.

Good for students' resumes.

Con: Not sure if completely legal if it is not pay.

Also might create conflicts with current employees of the company.

The webpack team has a simple solution: they have a bot that closes inactive issues. The issuer need not keep the issue alive by posting into the issue.
