[sldev] Jira cleanup, giving pjira a little loving

[Tony]

I believe that somewhat recently bugs that were added would start 
sending me emails. I can't remember if it is because of a setting that I 
checked or if it was automatic.
Some of my older reports do not do this so I think if you close the old 
ones, people might not get an email unless they are actively watching it.

On that note, if you were to mark all the old versions as "needs more 
info" and then 1-2 weeks later no one had commented or anything, then 
I'd say it should probably be closed because no one is paying attention. 
Even if a bug were to be closed with an explanation, its not like 
someone can't re-open it with more information or open a new one on the 
latest Rev. It's not like they are deleted an irretrievable from the 
system or anything. Close only means "not looking at this anymore".
