IMO there's a much simpler way to handle this: Just archive the repo - then no one can create issues in the first place.

This used to be a one way operation which meant it was a Big Deal, but now that's reversible there's basically zero downside to using it.

No we cannot do that, the old branches will stay active here as people may need backports for older releases and of course making the switch to the new repo seems totally unrealistic so we have decided to not archive.

OK, that makes sense except then...don't we want the ability to track issues for older branches and so we shouldn't auto-close issues?

Historically speaking all the old branches are maintained exclusively for RHEL and bug tracking there must happen via jira anyway so I don't think it matters for that. We never really did backports outside of the RHEL processes.

From now on I would say the issue could be on container-libs as well where it is more likely hat devs are actually looking.
