Description

If a stack is partially landed in Phabricator, the bug should have the leave-open keyword applied so it doesn't end up being closed prematurely. Presumably the rest of the stack is still being worked on / reviewed and will be landing at a later time.

Bonus points if auto-nag also removes leave-open after the comment denoting the merge to central comes in, though I can imagine arguments against doing this.

Research direction

Trace the auto-nag flow that updates Bugzilla metadata and identify where partially landed Phabricator stacks are recognized. Done means applying leave-open to those bugs; decide separately whether to remove it after the merge-to-central comment, then verify both behaviors against representative landing cases.
