Because as a bug against gawk, it has not been fixed, so it should not be
marked as "fixed".

Because I didn't know that every bug against debian-policy had to be a
"proposal". I'm doing the reassign now. I apologize for the inconvenience,
it is not my intention to bypass established procedures.

Thanks.
