I was exploring the new sessions tab on the bugzilla userprefs page and found some really old sessions from my home IP address. I assume these were from fresh browser profiles I create when testing bugs against various old branches. The oldest of them hadn't logged in since July 30, nearly a month ago. That's excessive for an inactive session. If someone hasn't used their session for a week (or two, max) we should make them log in again.

Heck, I use two different web mail providers that make me log in once a week even when I'm using their site daily.

this sounds reasonable.

the only place where i think this may cause issues is api clients logging in to get a token and assuming that it will be valid for 30 days.  they could either detect the expired token, or switch to api-keys.
