What you're really saying is that most maintainers want to work

marking all the expired bugs WONTFIX. Maintainers can always filter on
the currently maintained Fedora versions, but it becomes tedious to
configure that, which is where a virtual EXPIRED resolution exposed by
Bugzilla would come in handy.
Mostly your proposal makes sense, but we're trying very hard to stick to
upstream Bugzilla since 3.x, as heavy customization of 2.x caused more
problems than it solved. So we're reluctant to add resolutions and
statuses that don't exist upstream - even if Mozilla have hacked up
their own copy of their own upstream bug reporting system to add
resolutions...
(if EXPIRED really exists in upstream bugzilla, that'd be a different
case.)
