People! Yes, you, newbies who haven't read the BTS documentation!
Using 'close' to close bugs, especially those which arn't really fixed but
just no longer useful, is WRONG. The submitter only gets the subject line,
and that's hardly nice. Especially when you tell people "this is a dead
package, we won't help you, go find something else".
If this abuse continues, I might just exercise my ability to disable the
close command in the control bot one day...
