Hi Michael and all,
May I suggest that we try to close down the discussion and try to find an
acceptable approach?

I believe that Michaels earlier mail explained the context and (as I read
it) also include a small *apologize*.

I suggest that

   - we send a polite and excusing mail to all the involved bug submitters
   explaining the reason for the action taken and the flow behind the bug
   handling. Also explaining that we might have closed some issues that
   shouldn't have been closed - and that we are sorry about that. In such case
   ask the original submitter to reopen the issue.
   - we implement procedures in the future to avoid repetition of this
   misunderstanding
   - we all put this behind us and get to work ;-)

Cheers,
Leif
