Bug Description

I would love it if I could do one of two things:

 1. Have "need info" bugs automatically close if there are no comments for 30 days.

 2. Have a checkbox that would close a bug in 30 days if the status is not changed to confirmed.

I certainly sympathize with the need to not have half-complete bugs cluttering up the system.

Automatically closing them might be a bit drastic for some projects.

An alternative (though more complex) is:

 * implement the other bug that asks for sorting by last activity
 * do a query for needinfo bugs sorted by least recent activity
 * walk through and review/close/ping the user/see if they're already fixed/etc
