I think that threads (reporting a tracker inconsistency) on this
mailing list should be somehow closed with a confirmation that the
problem has been dealt with.
Otherwise someone else could think "I'll fix this up" and waste his/her
time in looking at the tracker and saying to him/herself "mmmh, but
this seems to be already OK..."

It's something like closing bug reports, I would say.
That's why I follow up myself, when I notice that the problem has been
fixed, but no reply has been sent to the list...
It's kinda weird, I admit, and that's why I began joking about
it...  ;-)
