Ah, sorry, I was getting ITA and ITP confused.
It'd be nice if there was some reasonable way for wnpp's "bugs" to be
reduced regularly. From what I can see, there are three sorts of entry
that're non-wishlist bugs: O, RFA and ITA. It looks like ITA and O will
be regularly handled this way, which just leaves RFA. Hmm. Should RFA
really be a wishlist bug?
Possibly ITP's should also be severity normal (matching ITA), and
automatically dropped back to RFP's regularly?
Would that make sense?

Sounds reasonable to me, fwiw.

Heh.
You might want to consider a 730 (or even 1460) day limit for RFP's.
