I suppose this would mean that any authenticated contributor could raise
, assign, modify and close issues. I suppose this isn't really a
problem - as long as the person doing the changes is known and recorded.
It is probably better to allow this than to burden the committers with
the chore of keeping the JIRA list clean.

I agree that only committers can resolve issues as fixed (since only
committers can check-in fixes).
Now what about the following cases:
- I want to cancel an issue that I created by mistake
- I opened an issue yesterday, and just found that it's fixed today (by
a change tracked under another issue, or by a change that doesn't
correspond to a JIRA issue at all)
- I opened an issue, and the nature of the issue has changed, I want to
add more info to it, maybe assign it to a different JIRA component
- I opened an issue, somebody contributed a fix for it, a committer
committed the fix, but I'm the only one who can verify that the fix
effectively solves the issue (because I'm the only one with the
environment to reproduce the problem for example), so I want to test the
fix myself and only then allow the issue to be marked resolved.
Do I have to be a committer to do all of this? or should other
contributors/testers be allowed to participate in the resolution of the
issues in these cases?
Any thoughts?
