I'm not questioning responsibility as much as I'm saying that what you're
describing isn't how Wikimedia or MediaWiki development operate. I don't see
others aggressively marking tickets resolved/wontfix around here. It's not
standard practice, as far as I'm aware.

Wikimedia is uncommon. :-)  And I don't think it's as atypical as you suggest
to use common sense and collaboration rather than cheap and weak appeals to
authority when making making development decisions.
