    I think 20 days is way too short. The bug reports don't harm
    anyone, they often contain useful information.

    A more sensible system could look like this:

    1.  After one month of being in feedback state, send the
        submitter a reminder.
    2.  After two months, close the bug report.

    The Apache bug db is operated similarly. It can work for us
    as well.

That sounds sensible to me. We should also probably contact the developer who put the report into feedback status to see if anything has happened. - zak
