I appreciate the effort to be more explicit in your reasoning by
adding an additional comment in response to this out-of-ticket
dicussion.

That being said. I really really think that its only appropriate for
someone who has talked specifically to the maintainers of a package to
make that sort of wontfix closure judgement and to do the closure.  I
do not think its best practise for others to attempt to act as  good
Samaritans to WONTFIX/CANTFIX closures of this nature.


I do not understand the reasoning for closing bugs just to avoid ABRT
adding CC's.  Why are additional CC's a bad thing for this bug? One of
those additional CC's might actually be able to pin down the fix!  Yes
its a widespread problem, but because its a widespread problem doesn't
mean you just shutdown the bug. I don't see how its appropriate for
anyone both one of the listed maintainers to decide that closing a bug
WONTFIX because there is _TOO MUCH_ ABRT activity.  I just don't get
the rationale.  Did you speak with Brian in a private conversation or
another maintainer about this at some point?
