I don't think it is good to have the issue open. I'd rather close them as "worksforme" with the PleaseHelp-Target. I think closing is important to make clear that no action will be taken unless someone grabs the issue. Leaving the issue open will provoke comments like "Still the issue is not handled!" etc. > But such an issue still fills up the bug 'inbox' of the assigned owner. > Maybe we need an accepted way to 'park' such issues elsewhere.

The proper solution would be a dedicated resolution, or an agreement on the worksforme/OOoPleaseHelp couple. If nobody is working on the issue, it should be closed IMHO. > [...] > Yes.
