I didn't know it, thanks for the info! So I guess every argument
from now on is just for the sake of completion...

Once, on another project, I filed a feature request on Flyspray. I 
also attached some measurements that showed how slow was the current 
way of doing things. After some monts the feature got implemented and the 
bug closed. I liked the feature, the program was much faster, and I wanted 
to attach measurements from the same machine that showed the difference. I 
didn't because I felt a reopen request would bother the developers.

But even for true reopen requests, IMHO the request itself should be 
logged as a comment so that others can see it, and why it was rejected.
