When someone comments and closes/reopens a ticket, two events are created on the timeline.
The timeline in 4.0 should be rewritten to allow grouped timeline events. This will also help with mass actions.
So instead of multiple events, it would look something like:
Sunday, 24th March 2013

Commented on ticket Better things
Defect #234 (It's broked) closed as Fixed

Reopening to implement in 3.x
