2. Be careful with INVALID resolutions
The term invalid _is_ harsh in bugzilla context, so make sure you write
a quick thankful-sounding comment to go with it.
I like all the suggestions, but this one hits a particular sore spot, as I
had it happen to me, with I think my second Gentoo bug filing.
I'm glad that you can relate to it - reassures me that I'm not pulling
this out of thin air :)

things worse is that the filing was after my arch team had asked for
volunteers to perform specific tests (multilib-strict), and I had gone to
significant effort to do so, having builds die that would otherwise have
completed successfully.
As it happens, the bug /was/ valid, and was eventually resolved
That's another issue which is worth thinking about. I'm just as bad at
this myself - if I can close a bug report without doing any work (i.e.
the case for most INVALID bugs) then it's almost like a small personal
victory.
We should also try not to jump the gun so much in this kind of situation.
Thanks for the feedback, if bugzilla ever drives you to suicide I will
be sure to file a bug report at the official Bugzilla bugzilla so that
it can be corrected :)
