I would love to see the BTS "close" command deprecated.  I can't think
of a single situation in which it is a good thing to use.  The only
situation in which it is currently necessary is in the sequence "close
nnnnn; reopen nnnnn new-email", which should be replaced by the single
command "submitter nnnnn new-email".

If people think this is good and the BTS maintainers want it, I'm
willing to help code this simple change.

The deprecation of closed is now fully documented and the method of
using alternatives is well understood. The command still exists, but
should not be used.

Therefore I'm closing this bug.
