Just to note: I can't change the status of the request to Obsolete (in the hope that it would allow a proper request to be filed) because I didn't make the request. And smani can't change the status to Obsolete because he's not a pkgdb administrator.

I figured that I'd just change it back to the initial state and then just process it but before doing that I'd rather give folks a chance to see what pkgdb is actually doing here.

Basically, unique constraint does not take the status into account: https://github.com/fedora-infra/pkgdb2/blob/master/pkgdb2/lib/model/init.py#L1847-L1850

So yes this would be expected and the current solution would be to edit that request and put it back to Awaiting Review.
I see that this is likely not the best design and something we'll need to sort out.

thanks for the report :)

There is an ticket upstream for this issue: https://github.com/fedora-infra/pkgdb2/issues/283 so if everyone agrees, I would propose to close the present ticket.

Ok for me

Closing.
