Hm, slightly OT: is it considered widely acceptable to take
over such pull requests by reopening rebased one with identical
content? I presume Boost licensing implies so but not sure
everyone else expects the same.
I don't see why this would invalidate the licence:
fork the branch that contains the request, rebase to fix any
conflicts, make any extra commits needed, open a new pull
request. It's really no different from merging the pull and then
fixing it afterwards.
