Err, no. On a rebase I put them into NEEDINFO_REPORTER and ask people to try again. If they report it got fixed, /then/ they get closed. Sadly a lot of them remain in NEEDINFO, and then get closed out a month or so later due to inactivity. Typically, we're talking >100 or so end up like this, and about a dozen get reopened or followed up with "yes it did get fixed, sorry I didnt respond".
