a) failing to check if the NEEDINFO flag is set for the *submitter*, instead of a reviewer b) failing to clear the NEEDINFO flag for the submitter
Oops, I barely posted the message and I already spotted that I'm wrong.
The NEEDINFO flag, in this case, is set to require action from "nobody@fedoraproject.org". The ticket never had an assignee specified; which basically makes "nobody@fedoraproject.org" the assignee. Yet the NEEDINFO flag is still not cleared.
