Should the NEEDINFO flag be cleared by adding such a comment? I didn't expect that.
when you set the needinfo flag did you set it such that anyone could clear it or did you specifically require that the original reporter needed to reply in the bugzilla interface?
But to be fait. Bugzappers should be conscious of this and careful not to liquidate needinfo by mistake, even when it was set incorrectly.
To be clear (we went over this on IRC :>) the initial message talking about 'Bug Zapper' is talking about the automated F10 EOL bug housekeeping. Since that added a comment on each bug, if those bugs were in 'needinfo anyone' state, they're now not in it any more. =) there's not much we can do about that.
but indeed, everyone should be careful to use needinfo appropriately. generally it's a bad idea to use the 'needinfo from anyone' flag as it will be cleared incorrectly far too often.
