Yup, I agree totally. Its not helpful to have loads of no-hoper bugs
floating around. They should be closed with resolved->wontfix. My
suggestion is only around the comment and criteria to use when closing
them. e.g. here's our fedora-16 one
http://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora16#Comment_Text_2

So taking the fedora comment and adjusting it for us, it would look
like...

"
LibreOffice ''(major-version}'' changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on
''(date here)''. LibreOffice ''(major-version}'' is no longer
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
LibreOffice please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
"

so for us that would mean anything reported against 3.3.X and 3.4.X is
up for mass-closing with the above.
