The time since that message  is irrelevant.  The bug is still there, so 
there is no good reason to close it.  If the point of closing unresolved 
bug reports is some kind of prioritization of bug reports, there's tags, 
severity levels, etc., you can use instead faking a high bug resolving 
statistics.
