I think the problem there is the assumption that each CF entry deserves
some amount of feedback. It's not a big problem to close entries of
patches that have gotten a fair amount, but it's pretty common to have a
set of entries that have barely gotten any review. Usually either
because they're perceived as too boring (fair enough), because they're
too complex for the majority of non-busy people (uhhh), or because
they're seen as claimed.
