Every now and then when I'm looking for duplicates I find old bugs that might be fixed but no-one has said anything on them for ages. So I leave a comment asking for the bug to be updated. I would like to be able to put a timer on bugs so that if no new comments arrive within x days/weeks/months I get send a reminder telling me that nothing is happening. I can think of many other situation where this would be good.
* I would set my own bug reports to remind me once every month or two to go back and see if anything has changed. Often a newer version of the software fixes the issue, but no-one will know that and the bug stays 'unfixed' instead of 'Fix Released'. Unless I go back and try the newer version(s).
* A lot of bugs are reported against beta releases, it would be good to get a reminder around the time of the next beta so I can check if the problem is still there.
* Sometimes I just don't have time to look more at the cause of a bug which I would like to help with, getting a reminder a week later would be great.
This bug may not be relevant any more. Now inactive bugs get closed automatically. But I would have liked to set this to a 3 month reminder...
