While going through all my needinfos on Bugzilla, I realized a good chunk of them were on closed bugs.
One of the most common pattern is needinfo added on backed out patches, for which I fixed the issue and land the bug again, but forget to clear the needinfo.
I saw other cases where I was asked something , and someone else replied, which "unlocked" the bug so it was fixed later.
Having a small comment that would say something like "The bug was closed and has a needinfo for you. Clear the needinfo if it's not relevant anymore"
