http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9007

           Summary: Clarify that bugs should not be reopened when escalating
                    to the tracker
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: working group Decision Policy
        AssignedTo: dave.null@w3.org
        ReportedBy: mjs@apple.com
         QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org

The intent of the Working Group decision policy is that bugs should remain
closed when escalated to the issue tracker, but apparently this is not fully
clear, because sometimes people reopen bugs in addition to adding the
TrackerIssue or TrackerRequest keywords. We should clarify that it's not
necessary or appropriate to reopen bugs in this state, they should be just left
in RESOLVED or VERIFY state,
