It looks like we have a multiplicity of views on permissions, so perhaps we 
should complicate this particular vote with all of the possible options that 
have been raised so far (including one off-list).  Sorry everyone for the 
confusion.

(A) Only contributors may edit or transition issues; (B) Only contributors may 
transition issues; (C) Only Jira-users may transition issues*; (D) (C)+Remove 
contributor role entirely; (E) Leave permission as they are today

* Today apparently ‘Anyone’ can perform this operation

A ranked vote, please.  This makes my votes:

1: A B C D E
2: B C A
3: A
4: +0.5
