This brings up a point that really irks me. In the bug, I believe the
dev implies that the reported bug has merit /yet he closes the bug
before actually doing something about it/. And I don't mean to pick on
Jeffrey; this seems to be a common habit among Gentoo devs.

If a bug is opened and it is a valid bug, the bug should not be closed
until it is actually squashed and the product ships (of course, if its a
valid bug that just won't get fixed for some reason, you can always mark
it WONTFIX):

I won't even go into the fact that the VERIFIED state* does not seemed
to be used or the fact that the person ASSIGNED to the bug is allowed to
close [his|her] own bugs! ;)

* This would seem to be a perfect job for Team Leads, but it would need
to be enforced by Bugzilla, and the ASSIGNED engineer must not be the
same person as the VERIFIED(er) engineer for a particular bug.
