Yes, thank you, point taken. Blame a combination of my mailer,
LC_CTYPE=C, and my inattention.

My point is that they don't disappear, even if nobody happens to notice
them being closed. Even when they're archived after 28 days of
inactivity they're still readable to anyone who cares to pass
"&archive=yes" to pkgreport.cgi.
Anyway, none of micq's closed-on-removal bugs got old enough to be
archived before Martin Michlmayr reopened them, so it wasn't a problem.

As a BTS admin I was hoping to be helpful by giving some information (as
in my experience people are often confused about what happens to bugs
when packages are removed). If your only response to attempted
helpfulness is rudeness, I'm hardly surprised that this thread is going
the way it is.
