we have some very old gerrit patches. I'm for abandoning patches which were not touched over 60 days (to begin with, I think the number should actually be lower). they can always be re-opened by any interested party post their closure.
i.e., looking at gerrit, the patch list should actually get attention, and not be a few worth looking at, with a "lot of old patches"
thoughts?

It might helpful to have a cron-like script that checks the age of the posts and first notifies the sender, the reviewers and the maintainer, and if the patch is not updated in a certain period just abandons it.
yep - warn after X days via email to just owner (or all subscribed to the patch), and close if no activity for X+14 days or something like that.
This will be annoying. And there are patches that pending with good reason. Maintainers can close patches that are no interest nor progress. Alon
