So, er, why did you advise someone to apply to it? For now its functions
are subsumed into QA, so if you want to get editbugs privs in order to
do triage work, the appropriate thing to do is follow the QA group join
procedure - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Join - and apply for the
qa FAS group.

You sort of skipped the bit about the QA team, and about just asking
someone else to re-open it, which is what has happened.
