My two cents: I would personally make those type of tickets as "stalled", "stalled" basically for me means blocked and these type of tasks are blocked on human resources, some miracles might happen and we might end up having enough resources to unblock it but until that day it's stalled IMO.
OTOH there are tickets that we don't have resources to work on it and we never will, imagine a ticket with title "Rewrite mediawiki", it sounds good as lots of part of it is old but we will never have such resource to do it. IMO, we should call it declined on grounds of not having resources. Same goes for "Every user should have a personal private wiki": We don't have hardware resources for that and probably never will.

I'm grateful for this largely civil and productive discussion. I'd like to suggest that the multiple sub-topics being discussed here might be easier to follow if the entire discussion is moved to a wiki talk page, such as on MediaWiki.org. I am not attempting to halt discussion or to tell people to stop writing to the mailing list; moving to a wiki talk page is just a suggestion.
Thanks,
