Everybody can close a bug. It *should* be done by the package
maintainer or by the submitter.

10.4 When bugs are closed by new uploads
If you fix a bug in your packages, it is your responsibility as the
package maintainer to close the bug when it has been fixed. However,
you should not close the bug until the package which fixes the bug
has been accepted into the Debian archive. Therefore, once you get
notification that your updated package has been installed into the
archive, you can and should close the bug in the BTS.

And, yes I've submitted once a bug, which has been fixed in unstable
(not to tetex). We just want to prevent bugs from getting old but
never been closed. There is a possibility to search through closed
bugs.
