Hi,
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
for GCompris, we don't have a lot of MR and even if some are old, we still plan \
to take over them at some point (we know which ones are unmaintained) so I think it's \
preferable to not add messages. </div>
<div></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
In a general manner, as said by Carl, MR should not be closed automatically.

Cheers,
