Thanks, Benedikt and Mark. I have made my first commit (woo!) and will start working through JIRA to clear out the easy stuff. Is there any rule (by writ or general practice) for closing tickets that haven't seen any action in some time? Seems like old tickets that haven't moved in a while (e.g. [1]) might be candidates for "reopen if this becomes interesting
again."


There is no strict procedure for this kind of issues. In your particular case, Sebb has already commented that this addition doesn't really make sense. Since the contributor hasn't reacted on the comment, I think it's
okay to close this issue as Won't fix.
Note, that we only set the Fix Version for issues that have actually been implemented. So when an issue is closed as Won't fix, duplicate, invalid etc, we remove the fix version, so that it doesn't show up in the reports
for this version.

In many components the fix version is only added when the fix is
actually implemented.
i.e. it is treated as "has been fixed in version x" rather than "this
is an issue to be fixed in version x"


JIRA allows both (when the issue is created and when it is resolved).
Setting the "Fix version" allows a clearer view of what needs to be
done before the next release can happen.
