Could you provide some sample bug ids that were closed off to the public? I can forward this concern to the powers that be.
This is easy to do. I just run rpm -q --changelog httpd on an EL5 box and the very first BZ# listed in that is closed to public: - mod_ldap: copy the global mutex from the base server to vhosts (#1101385)
The second, fortunately, is open.
(#1058426), (#976465), (#1047319), (#1078177), (#1003073), (#991367) and (#970994) all closed, that's eight out of the first ten unique bz numbers listed in the httpd changelog.
I could go on, and check other packages and other versions of CentOS as well, but the results will largely be the same.
This has been a well known issue for some time and I don't see RedHat changing this extremely annoying habit anytime soon. I would want to make certain that this doesn't happen to CentOS (or even CentOS-originating) bugzilla entries were we to switch to using the RedHat bugzilla system, this to me is of great concern as it plays directly to the transparency of the project as a whole.
This has been an issue in the Fedora Project, too.
One of the advantages of the two bug systems is that RH engineers/product people can keep a bug private without cutting off the community transparency. In fact, the CentOS side could be a good place to paste in public details from a private bug report.
