Possibly bikeshedding here, but would it be better to change the wording
slightly:
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version
- of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.
+ of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug report, updating
+ the "version" field accordingly.
i.e. are we referring to reopening that specific bug report within our
database, rather than in a more loose sense referring to opening a new
bug report against the same notional issue (if that makes sense). As a
maintainer, I'd prefer to have the old unfixed report reopened, rather
than have a new bug report that's a duplicate; sometimes there's
valuable information in the comments.
The problem with that is that only the bug owner or someone with
editbugs privileges (which happens to be quite a lot of people when it
comes to Fedora, but definitely not all reporters) can change the
version field.
