To the bug tracker, `notabug' is just an arbitrary tag. It has no
direct relation to being closed or open. For me, if I see the `notabug'
tag next to the "Inappropriate use of curly quotes in `info.el'" then
it's easier to remember that the current response is essentially "the
use of curly quotes is not inappropriate". And if the bug is closed
later, then the `notabug' tag will remind that it's because we decided
use of curly quotes is okay, not that we removed said quotes.
In other words, I consider closing to have a connotation of finality
(even though it can also be reversed), so just tagging with `notabug'
without closing indicates a somewhat more tentative state.
> I didn't suggest restoring the quotes to non-curly in Info.
If you rephrase your suggestion as a patch, then we won't have to play
guessing games.
