If you believe that a maintainer has closed a bug in error, reopening it once is acceptable with an explanation of why you believe the bug should be reopened. Reopening it multiple times is not. It's also the purview of the maintainer to set tags, such as wontfix; of course ideally they would provide rationale when the reasons for doing so are not obvious. If there's a still a problem, and you are unable to convince the maintainer by polite discussion, then you can bring discussion to -devel (or possibly the tech-ctte), and they can help you understand (or override) the maintainer's decision. When a maintainer closes a bug report, it's also courteous for them to provide a little bit of rationale as to why the bug is being closed, even if the submitter has submitted a bug in error. [It helps everyone else who is reading the report later understand what happen, and hopefully keeps them from reopening the bug or resubmitting similar ones.] As a final note, nothing stops you from discussing the fate of a closed bug up and until it is archived (which is currently disabled, anyway.) Don Armstrong [throwing sawblade rimmed [EMAIL PROTECTED] hats around] -- The attackers hadn't simply robbed the bank. They had carried off everything portable, including the security cameras, the carpets, the chairs, and the light and plumbing fixtures. The conspirators had deliberately punished the bank, for reasons best known to themselves, or to their unknown controllers. They had superglued doors and shattered windows, severed power and communications cables, poured stinking toxins into the wallspaces, and concreted all of the sinks and drains. In eight minutes, sixty people had ruined the building so thouroughly that it had to be condemed and later demolished. -- Bruce Sterling, _Distraction_ p4 http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
