Nope, this is a serious No-Go for an issue tracking system. To really 
close these issues you need to go and triage each issue individually. 
You can then close them if you can't reproduce them.
As long as the issue is not resolved or found non-reproducible it's a 
valid issue. You can't just go and close it just because it's old...

We can be quite sure though when closing old issues marked as resolved. 
These most likely haven't been caught yet as back then the "process" was 
not that strict yet... assigning the fixed in version field and so on. 
These fields help us a lot to find fixed issues today.
