Closing old Plasma 4 bugs

[Nate Graham]

Hello folks,
We have more than 2,500 Plasma 4 bugzilla tickets that we don't intend 
to look at or triage. We've already prevented new tickets from being 
filed, but it doesn't do anyone any good to just have the old ones 
sitting there. My sense is that most of the relevant bugs and wishlist 
items are already represented in the plasmashell product, so what do you 
think about doing a mass-close?

I was thinking of closing them all with one of the following two 
messages (top one for bugs, bottom one for wishlist items). What do you 
think?

For bugs:
=========

Hello!

This bug was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status 
in October 2015. Developers have not been triaging Plasma 4 bugs since 
that time. Happily, because KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell was been almost 
completely rewritten for better performance and usability, it is likely 
that this bug has already been resolved in Plasma 5. Additionally, bug 
triaging resources are extremely limited; if you would like to get 
involved in this effort, please see 
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Accordingly, and we hope you understand why we must close this bug. If 
the issue described  here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, 
please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after 
reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

Thanks for your understanding!

For wishlist items:
===================

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached 
end-of-support status in October 2015. Developers have not been triaging 
Plasma 4 requests since that time. Happily, because KDE Plasma 5's 
desktop shell was been almost completely rewritten, it is likely that 
this feature request has already been implemented in Plasma 5, or is no 
longer applicable. Additionally, bug triaging resources are extremely 
limited; if you would like to get involved in this effort, please see 
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Accordingly, and we hope you understand why we must close this feature 
request. If the requested feature is still not implemented in KDE Plasma 
5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the 
"plasmashell" product after reading 
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

Thanks for your understanding!
