quote: "The "submit and retry" approach does have some advantages. Since it puts more of the responsibility for bug reports on the users submitting those reports, it scales more reliably as the number of users increases. Unimportant or "operator error" bugs vanish automatically without anybody having to shovel them out of a bug tracking system. Bugs which are fixed by (seemingly) unrelated patches also fade away automatically. The whole thing works in a scalable way without the need for central managers."

Couldn't that be implemented in some way in BugZilla too?

Well, you can query for all bugs unchanged in the past X months, and close them :-)
