meanwhile, so please retest with current LibO release (4.3.2.2) and give
feedback of the actual status of the bug. if bug is gone set status to
RESOLVED WORKSFORME. if bug is still present leave status UNCHANGED and

reproduce it

Hi!
It is tempting to do it every branch (every 6 months), but that could be too
often and annoy people if the bug is still there.

yes, I agree we could do this only for 1 year old bugs if 6 months is too often.

Considering current release schedule for 4.3 and realistic chances for getting fixes I think we
should ask to check the bugs against master and do this ping before hard
code freeze and branching.

could be an intelligent thing to do.

I noticed that usually serious bugs are fixed in
master or in earlier stages of particular branch, than backported to last
few maintenance releases of the fresh branch. This ping should give the
reporters the true message about current status of the issue and more
testers of the next release. This also perfectly fits planned 4.4 BH
session.
Best regards.
