[Python-apps-team] Bug#710866: Please stop reopening bugs.

[Dmitry Smirnov]

Hi Timo,

I appreciate your attention and care for Xpra but I must ask you to
stop re-opening bugs please.

As closing message clearly sais:

    Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
    have further comments please address them to 710866 at bugs.debian.org,
    and the __maintainer__ will reopen the bug report _if appropriate_.

It's maintainer's job and decision to reopen bugs. Merely re-opening
bug do not notify maintainers so I wasn't aware that you re-opened
this bug because you didn't bother to explain the reason for
reopening! If any problem is still there you have to share how it is
manifesting. Silent reopening is inappropriate and frustrating.

Furthermore while you silently re-opened this particular bug (#710886)
in corresponding upstream bug report you admitted that it is not the
problem so now I have to clean up this mess and close our bug with
fears that you might re-open it yet again without even explaining
why...

Can I trust you to communicate your concerns in the future and refrain
from reopening bugs behind my/everyone's back please?

Let me assure you that I have no intention to ignore any problems and
even if I had such intention perhaps talking would be the better
strategy to convince me (or anybody) to pay more attention to problem.

Thanks.
