This is not a contest. If you thought these were so totally
different, why did yo close the bug? evidently, you knew that you
were hijacking an ITP, and wanted a fait accompli.
This is not good.
We are, at least theoretically, supposed to be a cooperative
community. A mail message coordinating with the ITP issuer would not
have cost that much, and gained in goodwill.

Not good enough. Did you ask? Did you do the least bit of
coordination before you took things over?

That would be wonderful were this a pissing contest. When it
comes to working as a group, this stinks.
