If you set release to rawhide and add the FutureFeature keyword, the bug
will be kept on "rawhide" and not moved to release branches, so it will
never be affected by this cleanup.
Don't let's make it expected and OK to game the process - that way
lies endless bureaucracy and nonsensical procedures for doing things.
Let's either accept the current outcome, or propose and implement
something different.
(Personally, I think that if we have a package:
- for which users have provided patches in bugzilla
- for which the none of the co-owners of the package has responded the patch
- for which nobody has initiated the "unresponsive packager" procedure,
- for which nobody (neither the reporter nor the co-owners, nor anyone
else) has bumped the Release: field as requested by the automated
script
then clearly nobody is interested enough in maintaining the package
properly, and keeping it in the distribution is a disservice to our
users; therefore the package should be dropped from the distribution.)
