True, but didn't we just discover that it doesn't work?

I agree about the fact that "no interest" status might be a bit too
judgmental. There might be interest but no time. Perhaps something
like "no activity" or "closed due to inactivity" would be more
appropriate / neutral. We should also emphasise in the emails that the
author is free to reopen the entry if he/she believes it was closed by
mistake.

I also agree that we should account for feature freezes.
