For example I submitted PR today in connection with a bug I originally reported to both the ports and the python lists last week. When there was no immediate fix I then submitted a PR this morning at was submitted: Tue Sep 15 08:10:02 UTC 2009 It was closed 8 minutes later without further query: Closed-Date: Tue Sep 15 08:18:07 UTC 2009 Despite the fact there had been a posting on both the ports and python lists by James Chang which was distributed to the lists at Tue, 15 Sep 2009 06:48:37 +0000 (UTC) I then attempted to Submit a Follow up to include Chang's report only to find that the PR had been prematurely closed simply because the maintainer assumed that as he could not replicate it the report must be unfounded. Last-Modified: Tue Sep 15 08:18:07 UTC 2009 Can we please have the system modified so that reports are not closed until the submitter has had an opportunity to review the reasons and comment. Lastly How does one get a closed PR re-opened? Yrs frustrated David Southwell
