First, you told us that tidying up a sequence of messy commits or even just changing a commit message without changing the resulting code is bad and should be banned. You also told us that git commits and trac tickets are orthogonal, and there is no such thing as a "ticket to which this commit belongs". Now you tell us that we should look up the email addresses of ticket participants and contact them directly, rather than simply using trac to send a question to the participants. I really don't like that development. These are of course not more than details, but they make the workflow a bit less pleasant. And in the case of "asking questions on a closed ticket, in order to be sure that the question is read by people who are actually interested in a topic": I even don't see a technical reason. Why should posting a comment on a closed ticket result in a change of status? Explicit is better than implicit. Hence, when trac *implicitly* assumes that a branch or a commit should be removed or that the ticket should be reopened without someone asking for it *explicitly*, then it's a bug.
