I realize that this don't meet your exact needs, but given that
Launchpad is in maintenance mode and patching it can be hard, I thought
this information would be useful.

If activity is created on the bug because the bug is missing sufficient
information for it to be recreated (status Confirmed), or for it to be
worked on by a developer (status Triaged), then the bug task's status
should be Incomplete.

If a bug only has one task and that task is set to Incomplete then the
bug is eligible for expiration[1].  Bugs that have seen "no recent
activity" will expire after 60 days.

You can find a list of bugs that can expire here:
