How about putting "policies" in the PR Guidelines something like this: PRs older than 2 years shall be marked "suspended", where "older" is measured from the last PR log activity which a committer deems to indicate that the PR might still be valid for any OS version. (This allows PRs to be "refreshed".) PRs older than 4 years shall be marked "closed" if 10 minutes of research by a committer does not convince him that any of the PR's problems is, more likely than not, a problem in a recent release, where "older" is measured from the creation date of the PR. (This allows old PRs to be closed, even if recently "refreshed".) The numbers might be too small.
