Well, that's true when it comes to high priorities, but the
submitter should have the opportunity to specify lower
priorities. For instance a typo is a bug which should be
fixed, but certainly it isn't a showstopper, so it doesn't
deserve to be classified as a normal priority report.

Submitters should not be allowed to close bug reports
themselves, otherwise it will wreak havoc. They should
explain the reasons and ask somebody with sufficient
credentials to do it on their behalf.

Last, but not least, I wolud like to apologise you and
Dave for unnecessary investigation of the first part of
PR42880, which was obviously my fault.
