Yes. This is what I did for shadow.

Similarly, for "wontfix" bugs, I propose closing them after a short
look.

And, for "unreproducible" bug, I propose sending a note to the bug
submitter (and the bug), asking whether the bug can still be
reproduced or not and proposing to close it.
While doing so, for shadow, I pseudo-tagged the bug by prepending the
bug title with "[TO CLOSE YYYYMMDD]" so that I can later remember
which bugs I can really close.

usertags could also be used. Something like "toclose" usertag.

I propose defining usertags for this list rather than yourself....


"moreinfo" bugs could trigger a new mail to the bug submitter when the
needed info should come from her/him. And, here also, I propose an
aggressive method and plan closing these bugs without answers.

The whole rationale is: when the BTS is cluttered with a bunch of
bugs, we should avoid being distracted by non-bugs....or things we can
abolutely do anything to solve....

If other maintainers object to close such bugs, I hereby propose a
usertag named "undertherug" for stuff we don't want to hear about
anymore..:-)
