Sometimes I am a bit worried about stale maintainer data in OBS, when I don't know if people would still care about the package. And it would not be good if we leave reporters with valid bugs for weeks (or forever), but currently we don't seem to care much about those leftover bugs. You never live the case as bugowner you ask information to user and never never get it :-)
I have bugs opened for years. Eventually, somebody comes and just closes them saying that the openSUSE version I reported against does not exist, and please try on a new version - without anybody ever doing anything about the bug. I doubt the person closing it even reads it, maybe it is a script doing the closing.
Find friends, and organize a bug squashing to confirm each bug open and also participate to the next bug squash day organized.
Some of these bugs took me days, even weeks, to try collect the data.
Some of these automatically closed bugs are still present on the new releases (sometimes obviously so), so I reopen them. And they often are eventually closed again without activity on the next release.
Quality of the report, wrong product ?
It is very discouraging. So each time I report less and less.
There's something you could do, find who make changes in the rpm changelog located the package on obs, use "users" tab and pick email of bugowner / maintainers try to add them in cc list
