I’ve been thinking on new feature with solved plugin. 🤔
Now, when you edit a category, have the option to “auto-close” topics by time… that’s ok.
If, for example we set 3 month for auto-close topics, we would need to reduce that timing if the topic is solved. So, right now a mod, or someone for staff (or TL4) are seeking solved topics to reduce the auto-close time manually, from 2190 hours to 168 hours (1 week; seven days).
Why that change? Well, when a user open a support topic and solved it, sometimes other interlocutors want to say what they think, so a grace period of 7 days is left for everyone to respond, and if no one answers, it closes automatically.
What do you think?

Doesn’t this solve the exact same issue?

Yes! SAM, thanks… but no code yet 😢
I don’t know about ruby… it’s too complicated code this?
Could not the PR be encouraged in any way?
Maybe a collection of donations? Or… I don’t know…
