If I were the reporter, I would first reopen the bug. If the maintainer continues to close it with unhelpful comments, I would raise the issue on the devel list to build support for my position or find out if there's a better way to address the issue. I assume the ultimate way to appeal a bad decision is to place the issue on the FESCo agenda, though I have never done that myself. Once it is established that the bug is valid and will be kept open, it can be considered as a blocker like any other bug. -- Matt -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
