This is getting tired. We both know how the BTS works.
Various ways to insult you as you did come to mind, but is there a need
to go there? Can we keep this discussion on the facts?

- When we close bugs, we almost *never* know if it is actually fixed in
  a release. We make a judgement  that may be wrong. That's why "reopen"
  exists in the first place.
- There have been 48 releases of pwlib since the bug was initially
  reported. The possibility that this bug was fixed in one of these was
  quite high.
- The usual way to close such a bug is for the submitter(s) to test if
  it is fixed or not. You were asked for an update and didn't respond
  for 2 and a half years.
- Therefore, there were probable fixes and no feedback. Closing the bug
  is the most sensible option.
- Moreover, there's always the option of re-opening the bug, if it
  exists. And you did that. And I'm happy for that (well, as happy as
  one can be on a bug report) since that was one of the acceptable
  scenarios.

Next time, if you don't want to be annoyed to see one of the bugs that
you submit close, please respond when the maintainer asks you for feedback.

On the bug itself, it'd be nice if you provided more info, since you
have the technical skills for that (being a DD etc.)

Kilian?
