It is my personal and technical opinion that it should be labelled WONT
FIX. If your expert opinion is different I encourage you to grab the issue
and *then* reopen it. If the project is really lucky you can even prove me
wrong ;)

The icla applies to my contributions to the project and it is perfectly
valid since the moment I signed it, that hasn't changed.
Do keep in mind that if I had thought it was a good idea to commit
the patch I would have just done it, like I did with so many patches
before.
After thinking about it for a while I think I was right not to commit it
in the first place. I still think the issue should be labelled WONT FIX.
The patch is withdrawn for good reasons but if you want to spend time
on it be my guest, and yes the project has permission to use my patch
under ALv2.
Pedro.
