Just the feature request.
It would make it easier to explain why bug #157361 is a dupe of #1343 though.

Jakub is handling a lot of bugs so obviously he does make mistakes occasionally. I don't think he makes that many of them but arguably he should have reassigned #165709 to dev-portage@ and let them handle it.
