Closing bug reports

   A developer who receives a bug from the tracking system, or sees it on
   debian-bugs-dist, and takes responsibility for it should hit Reply in
   their favourite mailreader, and then edit the To field to say
   nnn-done@bugs.debian.org instead of nnn@bugs (nnn-close is provided as an
   alias for nnn-done).

Is there a problem with that?
