There are some existing scripts that do part of what you describe,
its actually on my TODO list to make them usefull but I would not expect
any further progress on this from my side until sarge is released.
AFAICT the problematic tasks are currently:
Find the last activity in the bug report (and excluding maintainance
by the QA people)
Identify the real submitter (easier now since we have the owner tag,
but it will be another maintaiance task to keep the owner tag up-to-date
as it is currently with the subject)
I have done some ITA clean-up runs in the last year and I believe that
the task can be much more automated but finally we always will need some
people that check all retitle actions before they are actually applied.
Will save us a lot of discussions... But if we can definetly save these
people a lot of work related to the current situation.
Gruesse,
