It hurts no one to have an old bug in the database. Keeping old bugs provides some burden - otherwise the question wouldn't show up. When digging into old bugs don't see a no rule for all, but some indications: The age of the bug, the changes in the specific environment, the skill of the investor. It would minimize losses if the owner of the bug may keep it alive.
