Another old person opinion: the issue tracker of an open source project needs to be firmly anchored into the needs of the maintainers and not the users. The argument that bugs/issues need to be kept open forever unless they're fixed and the rejection of WONTFIX as a reason for closing them needs to die in a goddamn fucking fire. When the maintainer decides to close an issue because they're just not getting to it in this lifetime the users need to suck it up.
