I would suggest that before removing a bug report, a mail to the
submitter be sent and if submitter does not respond within 7 days (or
mail bounces) then delete the report, otherwise see with submitter if
bug is still there / report is still relevant.
To speed things up, I can already tell bug 436 is still relevant. :)
