Michael Brohl commented on OFBIZ-7788:
--------------------------------------
Yes, I see the point: I propose to extend the guideline such as:
"When you find a duplicate of a JIRA issue, please close the newer one with the resolution 'Duplicate', and state what the original issue is. This does not apply for placeholder issues or if the newer Jira does contain additional aspects or more comprehensive solutions, documentation or patches. If in doubt, please discuss on the development mailing list before choosing one issue over the other."
> Update to 'OFBiz Contributors Best Practices'

> When you find a duplicate of a JIRA issue, please close the newer one with the resolution 'Duplicate', and state what the original issue is. Closing the older issue is not respectful to the creator of the first issue, and can be perceived as an insult with respect to his/her good intentions.
