I was about to suggest something similar. Not necessarily dumping them
from BZ but removing the package's "maintained" status (or whatever the
terminology is). Clearly if bug reports are not being addressed, the
package is not being maintained in any meaningful sense.
What if half of the reports are addressed, resulting in a lot of happy users?
The same for maintainers: what if a maintainer addresses half of the
issues he's supposed to? Should (s)he still get dumped?
