Commenting on closed bugs is not doable in Flyspray.
Actually it is doable, it's a configuration option per project. Check http://bugs.archlinux.org/pm/proj1/prefs
More-over, I think it is a bad idea. The only reason people want commenting on closed bugs is so that they can argue with the developers
assuming malicious users up-front?
- give reasons why the bug shouldn't be closed. That's what a reopen request is for. If that fails, then it's time to discuss it directly with the developer in question
I see at least several good uses of allowing comments on closed bugs, sometimes even adding aditional reasons why the bug needs to *stay closed*.
Thanks. I just turned this on for the pacman bug tracker because I do find comments after closing a feature that is a net positive (with some trolling drawbacks, of course).
Me thanks! I think it will generally be positive. And in any case you can turn it back off if it's abused. Dimitris
