Heh, only 9 and a half years?  That's just a baby. ;)

One I've always remembered was #998¹, to check package signatures in 
the installer.  It's been closed for a few years now, but it had the 
alias 'oldest-bug-evar' for a while.  But that wasn't ignored.  It was 
just not something anyone could agree on a proper fix, for various 
reasons.

There are certainly plenty of bugs open for frustratingly long times, 
I'd never argue against that.  I've got some open for the git package 
which are fairly old, so I've felt this from both sides.

But hey, at least this isn't Atlassian.  I've watched bugs for their 
commercial products rot away for years and years, over trivial things 
that paying customers want.
