We can argue about this a lot (e.e. submitter can reopen bug whenever he finds the time to verify the bug).
The problem is, there is no proper way to track whether a bug has been verified, because the result may also be, that it is fixed.
So the real problem is the notice period? Will it help if there is 6 weeks notice instead of 4? Any other idea?
It would also help if the bugs won't be closed when F12 is EOL to allow some time to migrate to the next Fedora release, handle the new issues and then take the time to check for old ones. So maybe first notify 6 weeks before the EOL date, then when it is EOLed again and close the bug 6 weeks after the EOL date.
Nevertheless, I would welcome it more if bug submitters would only be asked to verify a bug when there is some maintainer available to fix the verified bug.
