That wouldn't work - Pending items are automatically deleted after 14 days 
(unless someone comments further on them, in which case they're reopened).

I think the current method's fine; it makes it easy to spot the ones that 
have been done for a release a) for adding to the changes.txt and b) for 
verifying the fix for QA (preferably by whoever raised them, certainly by 
someone other than the person that fixed them, and ideally including a 
unit test to detect regressions).  However, in practise I'm not sure they 
ever get checked...

Easiest thing is for whoever fixes it (or is working on it) to make sure 
they assign it to themselves, so you can tell which ones still need doing.
I don't mind if we start closing them once they've been verified, though.
I can always hang on to the automatic mails it sends to the list, and 
update the changes.txt from those (only snag would be if my machine broke 
down and I lost them...)
