This seams very related to: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1433263 I'm forwarding the needinfo to Michelle, as she is also the one looking into the other bug.

Severity: normal → S3

Clear a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user.

Inactive users most likely will not respond; if the missing information is essential and cannot be collected another way, the bug maybe should be closed as INCOMPLETE.

For more information, please visit BugBot documentation.
