Hi, Felix developers,
Most of you know this but we have some new contributors. Also,
permissions weren't set optimally.
1) With JIRA, typically a committer "resolves" an issue. Then the
person that reported the issue "closes" the issue. So, for example, I
just resolved several issues related to wrapper POMs. Now, once the
issue reporter is happy with the work I did, eg it passes a test case
or a patch is committed, then the reporter closes the issues. As an
admin I can, of course, close issues but it is bad practice.
Well, hopefully it is not too bad of a practice, since I do it
occasionally, such as when I know the reporter (e.g., Clement) or when
the resolution seems obvious or when it hasn't been closed for a long time.
Sorry for being bad. :-)

2) Felix didn't have permissions set optimally. I added the role
"Reporter" to the list of roles in JIRA that can close an issue. This
has come up before on other projects.
Assuming you have admin permissions, in JIRA you can:
Click "Administration."
Select the Felix project.
Edit "Permission Scheme."
For Permission "Close Issues," click Add, then select "Reporter" and
save.
