Bug expiry is currently disabled for Ubuntu in Launchpad.  When it was
turned on a couple of years ago it ended up being problematic from a
technical standpoint and controversial probably due to the technical
problems from a community standpoint.

It is currently turned off for Ubuntu however there was a brief
discussion of enabling it again for a very limited set of bug reports and
then depending on how that goes expanding the set of bugs covered.
