I loathe all auto-closing so much, it's such a cheap way out of issue triage. The ostrich method of project management. It's a good red flag though, I know not to waste my time on the project. Who knows what major issues have been auto-ignored.

It can be especially inane if the issues are also locked automatically, you're already ignoring the issue why the f can't you let people discuss workarounds or request reopen.
