</div>Auto-expiration is a Launchpad feature that can be enabled on a<br>
per-project (but not per-source) basis. So, some non-Ubuntu Launchpad<br>
using projects may have it flipped on. Ubuntu made the decision that<br>
auto-expiring bugs was not desireable, so in Ubuntu the "expires in X<br>
days" is more of just a hint for triagers and reporters.<br>

</div>Sure. There was a brief period a while ago when this was turned on by<br>
default for Ubuntu, which may be what you remember. AFAIK all bugs that<br>
were closed due to this, were reopened.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Unfortunately, some triagers do just
close bugs when they are marked ready to expire, without actually
checking whether the reporter provided the requested information. I
have re-opened one such report recently, although I don't want to share the bug
report number publicly on the mailing list without contacting the
triager first.<br>
