Note that the bugs have to be inactive for 60 days *and* in the
Incomplete state. If we're just waiting for info from the reporter or
something that leaves it incomplete then 60 days without activity
seems reasonable.

The issue I see with this change is that people (including myself)
probably aren't using the Incomplete status properly. Perhaps we want
to move a Incomplete to Confirmed if we want to keep it around but
don't have enough info to get it to Triaged. LP devs, is this the
correct bug flow?
