Either you want to add information for justifying the cllosed bug, and in this case it's not a big deal since you basically agree that the bug should be closed. (I understand it can be a bit annoying in some cases though :)) Or you want to add information against the closing of the bug : in this case, it's exactly a request to reopen.

I totally second that. It is really frustrating as a bug reporting user to end the discussion like this. It really looks like a "shut-up and stop annoying us" thing...
I know it did not gave me the motivation to open other bugs.
I don't see why the discussion should be closed when the bug is. As Damjan said, some useful information can still be provided even if the bug is closed.

I find it pretty frustrating that once bugs are closed in http://bugs.archlinux.org/ you can no longer add comments. The only option you have is request re-opening of the bug, which, I guess, would then frustrate the maintainer who closed the bug.
Adding comments to already closed bugs makes sense to me, since the *discussion* is almost always not over when it's (too hastily?) closed. Sometimes you want to add comments that strengthens the case for closing the report, which also means the report will not be re-opened in the future. Sometimes you need to supply more information.
