## Closing policy for inactive bugs
GitLab values the time spent by contributors on reporting bugs. However, if a bug remains inactive for a very long period,
it will qualify for auto-closure. Please refer to the [auto-close inactive bugs](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/triage-operations/#auto-close-inactive-bugs) section in our handbook to understand the complete workflow.
