An alternative is that the PSU wait until some raving lunatic,
sado-masochistic nutter who actually likes triaging comes only and bumps
some of the sillier, lonely bugs, e.g a three year old failing test case
on a buildbot. Result, bug is closed as out of date. Click on the
stats link at bugs.python.org and observe the result of this crazy type
of behaviour.
