Err, yes, of course I did. Silly me.

I'd rather it be explicit, otherwise:
unarchive 12345
unarchive 12346
reassign -1 foo
would be a bit confusing.

Because that'd mean that spam would still be accepted for the unarchived
bug, even though there's _no_ reason to send mail to it at all (since
there's a new bug for it). Also, reopen is documented for changing
the submitter address, and having that change the bug number too would
suck. Likewise if someone accidently closes the wrong bug number.
