Hi Pirming,
thanks for raising the issue. I'd be a bit careful about autoclosing. Tickets are a
huge source of knowledge about the program, often are opened as placeholder not to
forget missing function that we'll deal with, sooner or later, etc.
Besides that, users will sometimes take this as impolite, or think that we are trying
to hide problems, and refrain from getting involved with the project.
Me and Giovanni Manghi have dealt with (and opened[0]) many hundreds of tickets, and
I think nothing can replace careful consideration.
Having said that, I agree that if a ticket has no feedback for weeks, and is probably
a local issue, is better be closed.
Please do some careful simulation, checking the likely results, before acting.
This is by no means a secondary issue, as it involves our public image, and the
relations with our community.

All the best.
