So for this bug, since you've already provided feedback in comment 1, go ahead and set maintainer-feedback to + If you believe the issue can be resolved at this point, be sure to include a comment specifically saying that, and what the resolution should be In this case I'd suggest something like: "This issue can be closed: Not A Bug" as the value provided in DEFAULT_VERSIONS is not a valid one koobs
