No, don't close as NEEDINFO, mark as ASSIGNED. NEEDINFO bugs cannot be |
15 |
reopened by other users, even if they provide the requested information. |
16 |
NEEDINFO bugs are also easily forgotten about when the reporter forgets |
17 |
to reopen the bug him/herself. Plus, it's in the docs anyway. |

"Do not assume that the reporter ought to know how to report bugs. An |
20 |
omitted `emerge --info' does not call for a public flogging, it simply |
21 |
calls for the missing `emerge --info'. Even experienced reporters make |
22 |
mistakes, so simply request the information, mark the bug as ASSIGNED |
23 |
and wait for the information you requested." |
