How to undo the janitor

Asked by Robert Collins

In the bazaar project we just had a raft of good bugs expired by something called the 'Launchpad Janitor'. How can we undo this back to the original status, and what do we need to do to make sure it does not happen again?

Googling for launchpad janitor did not bring back useful docs or information...

We will be restoring wrongly expired bugs to Incomplete status about the day of Monday September 24.

We are refining the rules to ensure bugs that are duplicates, or with milestones are not expired. We will also revise the rules pertaining the when bugs affect may locations and/or posses bugwatches. A subtle change from checking the date_incomplete to the date of the last message will insulate Incomplete affected areas from Invalidation when the bug conversation focuses on main location that the bug effects.

An additional process will be incorporated into the bug expiration process. Some period /before/ a bug qualifies for expiration (a week perhaps), Launchpad-janitor will send out a warning that the bug will be expired if no activity is logged (such as sending a follow up requestion for more information).

Can you help with this problem?
