Thanks!  This is very much appreciated.

I think my question has a broader audience, so I am asking it here
instead:

   What effect does cancelling a long neglected "pending" request have
   on outstanding complaints?  Are they also automatically closed?

The reason I ask, is that after closing long neglected requests I am
opening fresh requests in the hope that they might get approved this
time around.  If they don't get processed in a fairly generous time
frame (say 4 weeks), I'd like to file a fresh complaint, and would
like it to not register as a duplicate...

[ I've cancelled and reopened ZFA requests for "citadel" and "xn--kput3i",
  it'll be interesting to see whether this helps to unwedge the process. ]
