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.
Then the original one could be reopened and version set to F18.
"If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version."
It would be probably possible to check all dupes automatically but
again a corner case, fixable manually (if somebody takes care).
Btw. as asked frequently in the previous EOL thread and to make it
easier for me and upcoming guys responsible for EOL - the script is
now available in the GIT of Fedora Project Schedule hosted project [1].
