Because often there is no reason whatsoever to keep it open. People want a package to be bumped that we *know* has been released, is in the overlay (or will end up there soon), and will go into the tree with GNOME 2.30. I see no reason whatsoever to keep it open. If we start doing that, we'll end up with tons of extra bugs on our hands. We already have pages that have the status of bumped packages,[1] so we know what needs to be done. 1. http://dev.gentoo.org/~nirbheek/gnome/2.30/status.html -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
