I agree with this opinion, its entirely possible the person is no longer
using Ubuntu or Launchpad or any other of a multitude of things, and
consequently will not reply to the bug report and then it will just
auto-expire. This does not mean that the bug is invalid though, we
should do some investigate work to determine whether or not the bug
still exists or if there is enough information to make such a
determination.
