We should just abolish and forbid RFPs, but in the current state having old open RFPs works as designed IMO, saying that someone at some time in the past wanted this software packaged for some reason.
I dislike that. An open RFP contains information: Somebody has looked at an upstream package, thought it would make sense to have in Debian, but decided that they dont have the resources or motivation to do the work themselves for some reason. We should not throw away that information consciously.
For ITPs, we should indeed close ones that didn't have activity for some specific period of time, or turn them into RFPs, and that's already implemented in the bartm's scripts, though I'm not sure if it's currently enabled or not.
Please demote stale ITPs to RFPs, but don't throw them away. Reasons: See above.
