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.
Wow, fixed the bug about shipwrecks generating with different wood types when they are on biome borders… 12 years later.

That must have been soooooooo satisfying!
