[Development] RFC: New keyword for Fixes bot "Reopens" and revert detection

[Daniel Smith]

I'd like to open up a thread for discussion on the addition of a new commit message footer, "Reopens", related to Fixes/Task-Number.

The proposed behaviour is:

  *
Use of "Reopens: QTBUG1234" would trigger automatic reopening of the specified jira issue upon uploading a new change to codereview.
  *
Jira issues specifying Reopens would be tagged with the merged sha of the change.
  *
Issues specifying Reopens can be automatically closed by also specifying "Fixes" as usual.
     *
The Jira Closer Bot has traditionally refused to close issues which is has previously closed. Including Reopens would bypass this check and allow the issue to be closed with the presence of Fixes.

Additionally, also proposed with this keyword addition is automatic detection of reverts by the bot for jira issue tagging. The bot would search for jira issues related to the revert by:

     *
Any issues specified in any footers of the revert change should be tagged with the merged commit of the revert.
     *
Any issues specified in any footers by the original change (sha) being reverted should be tagged with the merged commit of the revert.

Please respond by Friday, 19 April if you have comments or further suggestions on this proposal.
