Sounds like there's some widespread feeling that we should ask first
regardless of how much time has passed. The difference seems a bit minor
to me (the real issue is the languishing of bugs, I think), because the
only difference is whether we close before the email or after waiting
for a response. But I'll just ask first, give people a few weeks to
respond, and then close the bug if there's no response.
FWIW, on the bugs I looked at yesterday, a few bounced from the
reporter's email, so I'll just close them immediately if that happens.
