I like Mike's idea "mark bugs closed when they're fixed in a public release". Seems less arbitary then close after X public releases. A release should mean that all enhancements are correct and all bugs are really fixed. Otherwise - why release?

The process becomes
-> "Reporter" creates issue with bug report
-> "Contributor" marks ASSIGNED, uploads patch
-> "Committer" commits patch to source code and marks RESOLVED
-> As part of the release process, all bugs marked with the release version number must move to CLOSED.

The last bullet implies that the committer(s) do a review of all bugs and make sure they are really resolved. To be safe, the bugs should be closed when the release goes "gold". In other words, first release "1.5rc1", then if necessary release "1.5rc2". If that release holds water, mark all bugs as closed and go to "1.5".

Comments?

Best,
WILL

In Cayenne, we mark bugs closed when they're fixed in a public release.
