Once the bug is archived it is impossible to reopen it through the reopen command and according to the description that accompanies done bugs "Bug is archived. No further changes may be made." This makes it impossible for non-admins to reopen bugs incorrectly marked as done once the bug is archived. If the bug can be reopened by the administrators of the bug-tracking-system, the burden to admins once an incorrectly closed bug is discovered would be high. If the bug can't be reopened by the administrators that would force to file a duplicated bug. I am raising severity of this proposal since not archiving done bugs would solve this problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
