Handling stale bug reports
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
How should a new maintainer go about closing old bug reports? For
instance, I recently just took over apt-listchanges and see a lot of old
bug reports, including one from the year 2000.
I read https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#closing, and it seems to me
that since I am the maintainer I can close bug reports at my discretion.
Of course, I don't want to just randomly start closing old bug reports,
and I think some of them are valid. What's the best way to go about
handling old bug reports?
