Well that was cruel of me to paste URLs from one of the testing servers. I'm sorry for the tease. The correct URLs are: https://bugs.launchpad.net/malone/+bug/141604 Expiration janitor should put an expiration notice on bug page. To make the process of expiring bugs more visible, bugs that are scheduled for expiration in less than a week should have notices put up: /!\ This bug will be expired in 7 days if no further activity occurs (_find out why_). https://bugs.launchpad.net/malone/+bug/141597 bug janitor expires bug reports that should remain open. Bug 80502 was expired even though it is a duplicate of another bug that it is Confirmed. This doesn't seem like the right behavior to me. Addendum Five points have been brought up on IRC and mail that should be addresses in this bug 1. Do not expire duplicates. 2. Do not expire reports with milestones. 3. Do not expire bug that have no comments. 4. Do not expire bugs if any affected area has a bug watch. 5. Use the date of the last comment to track activity, not the date when the report became incomplete. > We will perform a public test on staging with the revised expiration > rules.

I should also clarify that staging is a test environment where we run a copy of production data with a development version of Launchpad. We can use that environment to safely run the bug expiration process to view the changes that would be made if it ran in production. We will make arrangements to report what will change. Without your input we will make additional changes to both the notice that runs before expiration, and the rules that qualify a bug for expiration. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- __Curtis C.
