I did/do wonder by the way when I get them if I should be replying if 
the status is unchanged from my viewpoint...

I believe your automated emails say something like "please verify if 
this problem is still relevant" but don't spell out what do after you
verified that it is. It's sort of natural to take that as "I need to 
reply telling people it's fixed if it is but can remain silent if 
nothing changed".

Being more explicit about liking a reporter to report "yes, nothing 
changed" would probably be good if that IS what's wanted.

Rene.
