If a maintainer closes a bug, and after a single round of explanation, still does not agree with reopening the bug, the bug should stay closed. If you disagree with the maintainer, then your choices are to either attempt to: 1) convince the maintainer that your viewpoint is correct, preferably by submitting a patch which fixes the perceived problem, along with rationale as to why the patch is correct. 2) attempt to convince the technical committee that the maintainer is incorrect, and should be overridden. This necessitates a patch as required for #1. In neither case should you reopen bugs that a maintainer has closed.[1] Continuing to do so will result in restricting your use of cont...@bugs.debian.org. Don Armstrong (on behalf of ow...@bugs.debian.org) 1: It is of course acceptable to reopen a bug in cases when the maintainer is likely to agree with you, but that is clearly not the case here. -- "There's nothing remarkable about it.
