well, for one, the submitter doesn't have to be a developer, and it's
perfectly ok for the submitter to manipulate "his" bugs. I've always
thought the rule "only the maintainer and the submitter are allowed to close
bugs" to be a good one. In fact, as a submitter I've closed or reassigned
bugs several times... as a maintainer, I've found some bugs have been
reassigned or closed by the submitter, and I was pleased about it...

why would I start marking bugs in, say xfree, as fixed if I'm not the
maintainer. I asked Branden about this once, and *he* asked me to submit
reports to the corresponding bugs and, iirc, mark them fixed. But in that
situation I had permission from the maintainer, which is a good thing.
