A couple of things here: WNPP bugs (nor any kind of bugs) are not closed
when uploading to experimental (they are tagged as
fixed-in-experimental). ITOH, both ITPs and RFPs are treated the same
way on the one-year-old closing script. Now, this is a part where the
script needs some work to be done: This bug was closed because the
script really tried to close #270533, which is merged with this one
(#266824). When closing the former, the BTS also came to close the
latter (in this case, the script needs some work to not close bugs which
are merged with other bugs which doesn't have the one-year-old
inactivity mark).
The ones treated different are ITAs which are retitled into Os, after
250 days of inactivity.

Nothing of the work 3rd party done by the WNPP crew is actually
documented, if interested on this closing, take a look at:

If my script really left things messed up, I can help to reopen closed
stuff, just point to them.
