Actually, I kinda don't have that option. I still seriously don't understand what this is about. Your bug was not a bug. Period.
That bug is not the single event that prompted me to write this mail. It has happened a lot. So let's focus on the main issue.
Then convince me - show me some real-world examples (URLs to bug reports) where comments after the fact would have been useful. Currently no one has produced an actual example aside from the fabled idea of a bug where it may be useful
I'll try, tell me first if it is of any help that https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ https://bugs.kde.org/ do allow comments after closing bugs. Though, they also don't close bugs that hastily too. So finding examples there like you requested would be maybe harder.
BTW I myself run a bug tracking site (http://bugs.softver.org.mk/) on which we have a policy that it's the reporter who needs to close the bug.
I'd prefer to stay away from the "look, these people do it that way!" arguments - very slippery slope there. Let's stick to Arch Linux bugs where this would be relevant
