We could automatically clean End Of Life bugs

Looking at the list of confirmed bugs affecting Ubuntu and the same list 
tagged with the current supported releases, we can see that around the 
70% of bugs in Launchpad are not tagged with those; what suggests that a 
big amount of bugs are simply End Of Life.

I believe we can just jump on reading these reports and save a huge 
amount of time by just writing a bot that checks for tags in the report, 
and if the report doesn't have any with a current supported release name 
do the following:

  1. Set the bug status to "Incomplete".

  2. Print the following message: "If you are still experiencing this 
issue in any currently supported release 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases), please set the status back to its 
previous setting".

What do you think?
