A couple of things here: WNPP bugs (nor any kind of bugs) are not closed when uploading to experimental (they are tagged as fixed-in-experimental). ITOH, both ITPs and RFPs are treated the same way on the one-year-old closing script. Now, this is a part where the script needs some work to be done: This bug was closed because the script really tried to close #270533, which is merged with this one (#266824). When closing the former, the BTS also came to close the latter (in this case, the script needs some work to not close bugs which are merged with other bugs which doesn't have the one-year-old inactivity mark). The ones treated different are ITAs which are retitled into Os, after 250 days of inactivity. > While http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ doesn't say, it's my understanding > that the RFP/ITP isn't fulfilled until the package is in unstable. Nothing of the work 3rd party done by the WNPP crew is actually documented, if interested on this closing, take a look at: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/09/msg00014.html > You mention experimental but I can't see it there.

If my script really left things messed up, I can help to reopen closed stuff, just point to them.
