(Get the code!)
I think the first thing to decide is: how would we tell whether this bug is fixed?
Perhaps one way of deciding that would be to take a random sample of comments from bug reports, posted either while the report is open or after it was closed. (Assuming that if a report is closed, me-too comments posted before it was closed no longer matter, but me-too comments posted afterward are still disruptive to subscribers.) Then for each comment, measure its age, and whether it's a me-too comment. That would help you decide on a target for reduction. Some measures -- like after-the-fact moderation -- could work better on old comments than new ones, or vice versa.
