I have no problem with closing them for bugs, because in a few major versions usually the software changes sufficiently to have a good chance of that original bug report simply being obsolete (not reproducible, log/debug output not useful anymore, architecture changes, GUI changes, client software/driver changes, kernel changes, etc.) But in case of a feature request, where the project maintainer agreed it's a long term goal, a bot closing it is just noise, which IMHO discourages useful/insightful comments.
