Closing NEEDSINFO bugs after 30 days

(Pulling this back to the NEEDSINFO thread since it sounds unrelated
to what Luigi was writing about in the Policy on stale bugs thread)

So... the current behavior is:

- human sets needsinfo
- if no human responds within 15 days since last update the bot posts
a reminder (this can repeat ad infinitum if the status doesn't get
changed away from needsinfo but comments get posted)
- if no human responds within further 15 days the bot closes the bug
(which may also happen if information was provided by the status was
not changed in 30 days)

e.g.

- human set needsinfo
- 15 days pass: bot posts reminder
- reporter comments
- 15 days pass: bot posts reminder
- 15 days pass: bot auto-closes

If I understand your suggestion you'd like it to switch automatically
out of needsinfo upon comment from the original reporter?

e.g.

- human sets needsinfo
- 15 days pass: bot posts reminder
- reporter comments
- N days pass: bug gets automatically dropped back to whatever the
previous state was?
