While I agree that this might be alienating there's also the task to do some 
house keeping in Bugzilla.

Sure, if some bug didn't get fixed it is sad but until it can be reproduced 
against some supported version that bug should be seen as gone for good.

Open question might be how many people can be arsed to try to reproduce such 
things in newer versions...

No, those shouldn't be closed but the respective maintainers should get their 
ass kicked to take care of their packages. That is either apply the patch and 
send it upstream or close the bug with some sensitive reason.

Sure, that is easy to say and valid for the "patch is available" bugs but for 
the rest not.
