Greetings,
I added this feature [this week] because if a person assigns a bug to themselves then a bot (which
automagically does the status change) shouldn't have the right to mark it bogus. Instead, a
human should determine what to do next. And the "No Feedback" status is considered
"Bogus" within the php.net bug tracker. I think it's common for the assignee to
simply forget about "No Feedback" bugs.
And in this particular case I think the change made by Chris clarified the bug. Instead of "No
Feedback" it's now "Closed", and mentions why (a reference to the DateTime
class). Much clearer. It's for this reason that the bug was assigned to a human.
Also, a few other [non-controversial] types were added. So for example if a bug is assigned to a
person yet has the "Open" status then they will also receive the email. Thoughts?
Regards,
Philip
