Martin.
My work was indendent of this bug, but my work implicitly solves some issues that are not being discussed in the bug. As a release manager of many projects I need to update bug statues to communicate that fixes are available for users (not engineers). I stopped doing this 9 months ago because I got complaints that I was stealing karma from the assigned engineer. So I would ask the engineer to close his bugs, but this is not an urgent matter for many.
This was a very frustration matter. I changed how karma was allocated and automated the status updates. Even though I have backout my change to update the bug status when a release is created, karma is still awarded to the bug assignee. Any automatted process that updates status from an inferred state will award karma to the correct user.
