From e28be265d174f44a4c7bcc535159e35a35652a1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen J Day Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2015 10:45:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Forbid commenting on closed issues Commenting on closed issues is rude and confusing.

It is much better to file a duplicate and merge them later when root cause has been identified than to have conflicting information throughout a ticket.
