Ultimately it depends on how burdened the group answering the questions is. If you never expire and your backlog is gigantic, you end up with ubuntu-bugs-syndrome, where even though you can improve process dealing with new bugs, the volume of old bugs dwarfs that. > From: Launchpad Janitor <question35010@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 8:38 AM > Subject: Re: [Question #35010]: List of all mailing lists enabled in Launchpad > To: matthew.east@xxxxxxxxx > > > Your question #35010 on Launchpad itself changed: > https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/35010 > > Status: Open => Expired > > Launchpad Janitor expired the question: > This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state > without activity for the last 15 days. In this case, it also helps that expiration raises attention to an unanswered question: we have many people answering and every once in a while one falls through the cracks. If you really care about it, you'll reopen it and I'll definitely notice that. -- Christian Robottom Reis | http://async.com.br/~kiko/ | [+55 16] 3376 0125
