+1

Having done a lot of triaging these past days there were (estimated)

30% issues that had been solved and forgotten
30% issues that still need to be solved
20% issues that were not relevant anymore
10% issues where reminding lead to instant PRs
10% systemic issues

Apart of the first 30% I think auto-closing would do
more harm than good.
For a lot of stuff a simple reminder after ~6 months can do wonders,
simply because people learned new things in the meantime and can
use them to solve the problem.
