F16 and F18: bugzilla, bugs and EOL

[Dmitrij S. Kryzhevich]

Yes and no. Right, I could press two buttons and reopen ticket. No, I am not a 
reporter so there would be no actual result in it. If you digg into 
closed/dublicate reports you will see that there were some communication in 
them. But it stopped every time that bug been marked as dublicate. Reportes of 
that bugs as I think suggest that if it is a dublicate someone for sure is 
working on it. And it is wrong. Reporter of first bugreport just foggot already 
he made it.

So. First bugreport has reporter why does not wont to help (what is rather 
often with abrt generated reports). Reporters of dublicates think that first 
bug is under revision and stop working on their reports (who will blame them? 
there reports are closed). All became into CLOSED status after F16 EOL, 
nothing became better.
