19 When package foobar gets removed from Portage, the remaining bugs
20 affecting foobar gets closed with resolution WONTFIX/OBSOLETE/FIXED
21 depending on type of the bug.
22 When package foobar gets readded to Portage, the maintainer needs to
23 check also for closed bugs.
24 That's how it is now, and the workflow wouldn't change with this proposal.

26 So you are right, but irrelevant to the /topic in hand.
