The JIRA site shows an interesting point that it is Web service
enabled for programmatic control (supports SOAP, XML-RPC and REST
interfaces). Probably we can exploit this to hav a local client that
does batch updates :)
I've deleted a jira issue from time to time, but usually only when
adding jiras. Sometimes I get a couple in and then think, "Hmm, I
want to do this all differently" -- typically when I want to make
them subtasks of another issue which seems to be the one thing you
can't do via the "Edit" feature.
It's a judgement call. There can be merit in a closed jira saying
"it turns out we don't need to test this" whereas I think there's
little value in something like "whoops, I messed up, pretend this
issue doesn't exist, the real issue is FOO-123"
Anyway, I wouldn't readd and close all the jiras all over again -- I
think your time is more valuable than that and it's really not a big
deal. If you really want to sink a half an hour into something to
make yourself feel better, find something to document :)

They should've been marked as invalid at the very least. I don't want
you to be doing the task just because I thought it's inappropriate to
delete them. Perhaps others will chime in and propose less cumbersome
one.
