At the end of the day. The public issue tracker that was available was not being managed and was largely not maintainable or sustainable in the current form. Google felt an obligation to turn over an issue tracker in a more sustainable and manageable form.
To clean up the issue tracker Google had three basic choices.
1. Invest massive amounts of man power to triage each issue and make determinations themselves. Including fixing/patching or prioritizing. This is not practical from both a resource and a public perception standpoint. If Google puts in the resources, they will not be rewarded because too many people will object to how Google's triage the issues.
2. Start a new issue tracker. This loses all history, and there would be massive screaming and objections.
3. Close everything over a certain age, tell people to submit patches and/or reopen them.

I had some free time lately where I wanted to work on some random issue.
It turned out that it is very hard to find one because all of junk
floating around in the tracker.
I still don't understand (and never will) why old non-fixed bug reports should be considered "junk". I won't bother to open a new issue again if this is the case.
