What do other distros do on their bugtrackers? We should allow comments after closing to facilitate further user input. Lets not forget that Arch Linux would not be in it's current state without user/dev interaction.

And this is forcing the reporter to begging for reopening and looking again at the bug. Closing a bug too early can in the reporter's sight mean: "Hey! I'm the king and I decide if I'm willing to fix the bug. And if I don't want to, then you don't have to say anything. Your subject to my merci." Of course this is a bit exaggerated and of course in most cases the developer doesn't mean it, but this is how the reporter can easily understand it. And this can lead to such misunderstandings and to angry reactions. Don't see this only from your (the developer's) point of view. Try to see it from the reporter's point of view. Greetings, Heiko
