Github user uce commented on the issue:
https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3059
Since the comments were very minor I addressed them myself (used the
backticks and skipped the change in "If checkpointing is activated..." as it
didn't really improve anything).
The work flow was as follows: I checked out your PR branch, rebased it onto
master (via `git rebase apache/master`) and pushed it with another related
commit. My related commit had a comment `This closes #3059`, which tells the
ASF bot to close this PR. Then I cherry picked it to the 1.2 branch.
GitHub only notices that the changes were merged for merges to master and
if the commit hashes are not changed I think. Since I rebased they did change
and I needed the manual close. Does this make sense?
