Move them to a deficated status. “Never triaged”, “lost”, “won’t do”, what have you.

That way, you’re at least not deluding yourself about your own capacity to triage and fix problems, and can hopefully search for and reopen issues that are resurfaced.

I like this. It should be a status.

"I deficated this issue. Closed."

This was supposed to be "dedicated", but I might also be coming around :)
