I've often wanted to add comments to closed issues in the past and have been unable to. For things like a performance bug, it is often helpful a few days down the road to post results of the fix once a few people have tested it. It doesn't make sense to leave the bug open if it is fixed in git, but many people that followed the bug would find it interesting.
Yes, there are sometimes situations where I wanted to add a more or less important comment to a bug reports but it was just closed.
In the other hand I see the problems of never ending discussions and flame wars.
But as we don't know which of these cases occur more often we could just enable that feature for a month and decide afterwards.
I thought seriously about this point, but came out on the other side of it-- I'm fine with people doing a reopen request to add an extra comment when that comes up. I expect it's few cases, compared to the number of bugs I now look at in a month, and if it starts occurring so much that it's annoying to those of us wrangling with the bugs, we can turn on post-close comments. - P
