Jul 29, 2017 at 5:25 comment added WinEunuuchs2Unix @EliahKagan I'm not sure what my question should be a dupe of. The question has been answered: "It's a bot". But the larger issue in the shadows is "Who wrote the bot and why didn't he/she/they know not to bump 4+ y/o abandoned questions pertaining to abandoned (EOL) software?". In my project of going through and voting to close EOL software unanswered questions and particularly those that were abandoned by OP I found oen to place a bounty on and some to ping OP or commenter on to post an answer. A bot could have done the same. In this case I think no bot is better than a badly programmed bot.
Jul 29, 2017 at 3:30 comment added Eliah Kagan @Avery That related idea was for Community to bump differently here. SE would have to implement it, but it's OK to raise even site-nonspecific ideas on a child meta first. I am likely to disagree with a feature request about this. But if asking for AU-specific behavior, this seems like the best place for it. (There is precedent for SE granting a feature request for special behavior for just one site, posted on its child meta.)

Jul 29, 2017 at 2:27 comment added WinEunuuchs2Unix I think we should close this question as a dupe of one of those... But I still disagree with bot programming in my example
