[Koha] Comment Needed: Renewing of Lost items

[Kyle Hall]

Attention Librarians!

We need some input for dealing with Bug 9805 - Lost items are un-lost if
returned, but not if renewed.

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9805

The issue is that renewing a lost item does not mark it as found. I filed a
patch to correct the issue, but there are concerns about patrons being able
to 'un-lose' items by renewing from the OPAC.

We have two proposed solutions solutions:
1) Prevent the renewing of lost items
2) Make renewing a lost item marking it as found controlled by a system
preference

I submitted a patch for the latter solution, but after some thought I and
some other developers think the former solution would be best. What do you
all think?
