That's correct; these bugs are closed now, but this will be useful information
if this happens again.

... yes. I appreciate that this exists.
And if I thought this was a solution I wouldn't be discussing this here.
But along these lines I'll just mention the following:
The DPL changes every couple of years, and each DPL likely has their own style
of dealing with this. Hopefully there are some historic guidelines (and
records of actions) available in this area for the new DPL, or the incumbent
DPL can pass down to the incoming DPL how they dealt with such things before.
The DPL is also likely very busy; I'm wondering if the "DPL helpers" could
help with this if needed.
