This sounds good to me, provided it is after a 3-month "no activity" period, and this should not affect open/active posts in the issue tracker. It will keep folks (and newbies) from resurrecting old threads. This forces a new thread with up-to-date info and is much easier to navigate.
*Every once in a while* it may actually make sense to resurrect old threads. But I'd say 95% of these cases should not have happened. Maybe six months rather than three. People can always include links to old threads they think might be relevant.
Main legitimate use case I can think of is to update an old thread describing a report with a post saying the problem has been fixed. Special privileges could exist for that.
How realistic is it that there will be a special privilege user who can reply on an old thread? Who would manage that? I would
suggest
a) not expiring old threads
b) if resurrecting an old thread in a particular case is not considered appropriate, politely (like we always do) ask the poster to start a new thread.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea?

It makes sense to me.
I too would support providing there was a mechanism for those of us working on MuseScore to update the thread to inform of fixes etc.
