I can’t speak for Mojang but at work several years ago we had a contest of sorts, who could properly fix and close the oldest bug. I won by closing a similar aged bug that I had actually opened some 12 years prior by me before I was on the team. It had been passed around and moved to so many backlogs, I had long since stopped caring about the issue. But damn was it great to have fixed it.

That must have been soooooooo satisfying!
