Older might be harder, or it might mean boring, or seen as less important. It might be worth giving more points for old PRs regardless, to help get the old ones fixed. The main goal here is to get PRs fixed. It just feels wrong to have PRs sitting around for years on end, and if it is a significant problem you can be sure that the submitter is unhappy about not having a fix. A longer PR might be more difficult. A complex problem takes longer to describe, and longer to fix, than just "there is a typo in the foo(1) man page". One problem is PRs that are closed without being fixed. Some of these are legitimate (dups, submitter error, already fixed in newer release, ...) but some shouldn't have been closed.
