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.
