What do you propose as a resolution to this bug? As I understand it,
rt.wikimedia.org was envisioned primarily as a place for ops to put non-public
information (mostly server quotes, I guess). Then its use gradually expanded.
Now, occasionally a bug's status will be unclear due to the closed (private)
nature of rt.wikimedia.org. This doesn't happen too often, but this is a
legitimate bug.

I'm not sure there's a good resolution to this bug, though. Is there a path
forward for this bug?

There are a few options that I see:

* continue with the current setup;
* open rt.wikimedia.org further (allow volunteers to have accounts and act as
liaisons, I suppose); and/or
* restrict the use of rt.wikimedia.org to only sensitive information and move
everything else to Bugzilla.

I have no idea how tenable any of these ideas are or if there's a better option
available to resolve this bug.
