Yes it's bug #8221. Apparently you said the "ispell packages working together" was enough and Manoj retitled the bug into "rejected". I think adding ispell-dictionary to the list would not make harm anyway, and would make happy a lot of people, and would avoid useless discussions about ispell-dictionary being an "approved" virtual package name or not. (For example, it would avoid Bug#8221 against ispell :-). What exactly is required to "resurrect" a proposal? Is it required to wait some amount of time since it was rejected?
