Could those two things *possibly* be related???

Yes.

People are much less likely to put in a 'fresh' bug report if an entry is already in the bug-base.

Q:  "When is a problem not a problem?"

A: "When I ignore it for more than a year."

Bugs die of lonliness when left uncorrected?

Please consider each case on its technical merits, not longevity.

Else, one or more of us could while away a pleasant evening 'refreshing' all entries with accession numbers <306...

Does that make sense?
