Can't see a button to reopen an issue - are we supposed to create a new issue, or just comment on an issue like this? What about changing the subject, eg, in this case, to say "cnet.com site support request"?

debian.org website provides for logged in users to do these types of janitorial tasks, but I can't see how to do those two tasks here.
