I'm not convinced that this would be an effective use of our time.  Most
triagers and developers don't look at Incomplete without response bugs,
which is one of the criteria for ending up on this list.  Subsequently,
the bug may as well be Invalid - except it stills shows up in bug lists
so may be useful for reporters if they are experiencing the same bug
report.

Also considering that only 14%[1] of bugs are Incomplete and 47% are
New, I don't think the bugs eligible for expiration are a significant
quantity at this point in time.
