Lie-algebra closure conjecture for finitely generated unipotent subgroups

From papers

Let XX be an irreducible affine variety. For locally nilpotent derivations 1,,k\partial_1,\ldots,\partial_k of K[X]{\mathbb K}[X], let

Hi=exp(Ki),G=H1,,HkAut(X).H_i={\rm \exp}({\mathbb K}\partial_i),\qquad G=\langle H_1,\ldots,H_k\rangle\subseteq\operatorname{Aut}(X).

A Lie-algebra closure conjecture asserts that a Ga{\mathbb G}_a-subgroup H=exp(K)H={\rm \exp}({\mathbb K}\partial) lies in G\overline{G} if and only if \partial belongs to the Lie algebra generated by 1,,k\partial_1,\ldots,\partial_k. This is proposed as a generalization of a lemma for root subgroups; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
