Resolving a bug as anything except FIXED results in it being reopened regularly. One of the most important abilities in any prioritization is being able to say "No" to things.[1] Saying no on Bugzilla often results in "I'm going to act like a child and reopen a bug you just closed." Our only recourse right now seems to be to ban someone from BZ, which I am loathe to ask for. 1. http://insideintercom.io/product-strategy-means-saying-no/ -- Steven Walling, Product Manager https://wikimediafoundation.org/
