Aha; this problem is a little more than a nuisance... it seems to be why most of these issues are marked Resolved and not Closed as well. The RM's release process is to search for JIRA issues with a fix version of the release version (i.e. 6.6 NOT 6.x). Issues that do not have a real version then fall through the cracks and remain in a "Resolved" limbo/ambiguity: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20LUCENE%20AND%20status%20in%20(Resolved)%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%206.x%20ORDER%20BY%20fixVersion%20ASC%2C%20assignee%20ASC And thus it's unclear to users browsing these issues in JIRA for which version the issue was released in.
