Avik, I made some assumptions, and missed the fact that you were asking about closing PRs *without merging* until you sent your e-mail yesterday when I was also thinking about closing PRs without merging. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
As it turns out there may be a hack for doing this described in the comments of this JIRA ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-13690 I'll try it out when I reach the point of killing my first PR likely sometime next week. If you try it out beforehand and it works, let us know. Otherwise, we'll just have to make tickets for INFRA to close those. They are rather unlikely to give us the necessary karma to do so directly via github, because, if I understand correctly, they can't give it to us for just the one project. They'd have to give it to us for all the Apache projects. Or we wait till we're ready to ask for a move of Fineract to gitbox. It shouldn't be *too* much longer...
