Annoying, isn't it? I do it quite often to keep the number of release-critical bugs down :). Personally, I would have absolutely *no* problem with others closing bugreports for my packages, although it is something amusing to be in the 3l1t3-group of maintainers with over 100 bugs. I can see however that in general allowing one to close bugs for another maintainer does not scale very well. > Also, some bugs are quite plainly bogus or operator error, and it'd be nice > to be able to clear out clutter in the BTS by closing them when you notice > them. Severity bogus :). This is something that indeed annoys me greatly: a lot of bugs that are filed are actually no bugs at all. You can however explain the real problem and ask the submitter to close the bug.
