Well, I understand how you can get this impression, but I think you are
mistaken. There is another resolution which explicitly states that the bug has
never been an issue, and that is INVALID. What WORKSFORME implies is simply
that the bug cannot be reproduced in the current version. Granted, it may be an
appropriate resolution even when nobody has been able to reproduce the bug, but
its use is not restricted to these cases.

After version 5.0 was released a few months ago, the QA Administrators added a
comment to several bugs (e.g., bug 80027) that had been quiet for more than a
year, asking people to check whether the bug was still present:

"If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of
LibreOffice and Operating System
Please DO NOT [...]
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not appropriate in this case)"

So, according to the QA Administrators, WORKSFORME is the most appropriate
resolution when the issue has been fixed but you cannot exactly say how this
has happened and by whom.
