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

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.
Any ideas how to improve these bugzilla stats? Does the proposed "solution" sound OK?
The solution would be to solve them in time. Doing differently is no solution, is a hack.
