However I have had a bug or three closed by someone else -- for the wrong package. Most recently was an anacron bug that was closed by the ytalk maint. It was an accident, he fixed it the moment I told him, but it should not be possible to do. Now, perhaps a provision that mail from debian-qa that is signed is allowed, but beyond that it is trivial to compromise our bug system currently.
