I can add to that:
I get a notification about *every* event happened
in Flyspray's "Arch Linux" project to my gmailbox,
so comments like "what's the status of this old bug?"
definetely bring my attention. ;-)

Sure, we have some bugs reported long ago but still not closed
due to some reasons.
But usually old bugs are either resolved and closed as fixed
or just closed because no futher comments from authors were made
(e.g. if a bug there's no comments when 2 more major kernel versions
are released then the bug is assumed to be fixed)
