Actually, looking again, I may just lack permissions.

Andrus, can you bulk edit closed issues?   You can verify by clicking
the "closed" link from the main Cayenne JIRA page.  Then in the
upper-right, click the "all 592 issue(s)" next to the "Bulk Change"
label.  Select a few issues, click "Next".  Then check if you can "Edit
Issues" in the next step.  I only have "Transition Issues" and "Delete
Issues" available to me . . .

If you can actually edit issues, we may not need to get the infra guys
involved at all.

Thanks,
Kevin
