I received a notice of an updated message from an ancient Bug report - 7 years old, should be in school by now - and when I attempted to log in to the system it gave me:

Bad bot, go away! Request aborted.

What's up with that?

I've been receiving notices about old bugs from GitHub, also --- in my case, it appears to be generated from someone asking questions about old bugs. Most of them have been dealt with, or rendered inconsequential by advances in OR. I had no trouble logging on to GitHub and either muting the notices, or editing my choice to be notified.

Yes, there is a big bug report cleanup. We have currently more than 800 open bug reports on Launchpad and most of them are very old.
We are requesting the reporters to check if the bug is still happening with the latest version. Without response, the bug report will expire 2 months later.

Ahhh, thanks Cédric, that explains it. I'll look at any bugs I reported and deal with them appropriately.
