No objections here. However, I think we must agree on how to handle the bug
reports; the situation is like this:
- Non-maintainer releases should not close bug reports
- We don't have a "Severity: fixed" yet.
I propose that these bugs, when fixed by a non-maintainer upload, have their
severity lowered to "normal". Thus, they can be properly closed when the
maintainer does a new upload (as intended by policy), and they don't get in
the way of the release any longer.
