The number of bugs in "obsolete" files is a tiny, insignificant fraction, and always will be. (I'm not even sure there are any left open.) Their influence on your stats will not be measurable. As debbugs.gnu.org maintainer, I won't define a new global "obsolete" tag for such a minority use. You could use a usertag, if you really want to (or just retitle them to add eg "[obsolete]").
