I do not see ways to select open bugs on the search page. [1] Is that a
bug?

Well, thank you for that! I'd love to learn how to use it.

Before I sign up for private lessons, do the SOAP interfaces work on
debbugs.juix.org and better.juix.org?

Thank you for that insight! Indeed, 28 days after closure then seems
like a short time frame.

Without wishing to put words into Karl's mouth, I agree that archiving
should occur 28 days after a release, or later. How else would regular
folks be able to tell?

Kind regards
