At the moment updating the phases is something that happens only on requests and not automatically, meaning that some issues will stay in a phase, even though the time has passed, until someone requests a view.

I've been thinking some about this, can't really figure out a clean way to do it besides using something external like cron. Do you have anything in mind?

I've tried some different approaches to timers, but they were clunky, resource-heavy and error-prone. I didn't look enough, admittedly, so there might be good multi-threading solutions.
