No, notfixed should be the opposite of fixed, which it is. reopen (or
found) is the opposite of -done. All notfixed does is removed a
version from the fixed list.

Its primary purpose is fixing typos and other mistakes in the fixed
version list when that's *all* you want to do. If you're expecting
other side effects you're either looking for found or reopen. notfound
is its pair which performs precisely the same operation but on the
found list.

I added the notfixed and notfound commands myself, so I'm responsible
for them. [I'm not entirely sure why they were being used in this
case, as it seems clear from the bug log that what was meant was that
the bug was actually still present in 2.3.3+fr-1, in which case
'found' or 'reopen' are the appropriate things.]
