I agree with you, I should have closed it.  However, my working style
was to never close such bugs in the first message.  That may look
aggressive to the submitter, and sometimes after a reply the underlying
"real wish" shows up, enabling us to make the package better.  

However, in this case the submitter never responded, and the bug was
forgotten. 

Is there some script to check for bugs with a maintainer answer but no
second mail by the submitter?
