Should there be any bugs that obviously still apply to the current code, then 
for the 2.1 series, these bugs have apparently been idle for about 5 years, 
without proper follow-up from either side.

Hence, for the closing of bugs, we would send out a notification to the 
reporter, anyone in CC:, as long as these individuals have set their 
preferences to be notified about changes to the bug through email. If they 
have not, then virtually any manual cleanup will turn out to be pointless as 
well; the questions never reach anyone significant anyways.

That said though, is there an example you have in mind, or are we merely 
speculating on the hypothetical?

Kind regards,
