The practical point is that F12 is about to go EOL which means the bug must be closed...
Why? Obviously it needs to be clear that nothing further should be expected from the maintainer unless/until the version is bumped. But the project can choose to indicate that by closing the bugs as WONTFIX or some other way,
That's, um, exactly the process we're discussing here. We close all bugs for a given release when that release goes EOL. (I forget what resolution is used, it may well be WONTFIX). We send a warning note to all bugs that will be closed under this process, a short while before they're closed, so the reporters can check if they exist in a newer version and bump the report to that version to keep it open, if they like.
