openssh unix dev - May 2003 - Bugzilla bugs: close ones waiting for feedback >3 months?

Hi All,
	I've been going through the bug queue and there's a number that have
been
waiting for reporter feedback for a long time (in one case 7+ months).

	Would anyone consider it unduly harsh if I took an axe to the queue and
closed any bugs (ie the unconfirmed or WORKSFORME type) that have been
waiting for reporter feedback for more than, say, 3 months?  (Unless
there's a documented reason, like "I'll look at this when I get
back from
my 6-month around-the-world vacation".)

	If the user can't get back to us in a quarter year, it can't too much
of
a problem and the bug can always be re-opened.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

Yes, 3 months is usually the mark at which I close the bug with a "xx 
months and no feedback == no bug" comment :)

WORKSFORME is the resolution that I usually use.
