pearu opened a new issue, #54696: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/54696
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. The PR limit workflow closes a pull request that takes a contributor over the limit, and both its comment (`.github/workflows/pr_limit/comment.md`: "you are welcome to reopen this one") and the docs (`docs/source/developers/bug_reports.rst`: "Once one of your other pull requests has been merged or closed, you can reopen it") say that the author can reopen it later. In practice the author cannot. After #54656 was merged, which brought me below the limit, reopening #54657 (closed by the workflow) fails: ``` $ gh pr reopen 54657 -R apache/arrow API call failed: GraphQL: Could not open the pull request. (reopenPullRequest) ``` Presumably GitHub does not let an author without repository access reopen a pull request that was closed by an account with write access. Either the comment and the docs could ask the author to request a reopen from a committer or collaborator (the workflow already leaves alone a pull request reopened by someone with repository access, see `.github/workflows/pr_limit/check.js`), or the workflow could let authors reopen their pull requests, e.g. by reopening them itself once the author is below the limit. ### Component(s) Continuous Integration, Documentation -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
