 just close them instead of resolving them.

 Why does it matter, as long as they are not open anymore?

For instance they still appear in the Reported by me and Monitored by me 
sections, so they don't feel like really done.

 I would say close them as soon as you can.  If people want to reopen them,
 they can.  But, I don't think we should wait for someone to close them.  So,
 anyone wants to move the resolved issues to closed, I am all for it.  :)

I feel a bug shouldn't be closed until the fix can be found in a CMake
release.  The bug should also make it clear which release the fix should be
found in.  Pushing the fix to next doesn't qualify as being closed,
because I can't expect my customers to grab a nightly.

I just don't think we have the bandwidth or follow up capability to do 
that.  If it makes it into next, then it will make it into a release, 
and show up in the release notes from the commit log.  BTW, please make 
your commit messages look like the line that goes in the release notes.  :)


The bug tracker is so full of stuff, we need to get that stuff out as 
soon as possible.
