in reply to Closing rt.cpan.org tickets

Is this your dist that you are closing tickets for? If it is, the stuff below applies to you, if it's not your dist, I don't believe RT will let you close tickets

The idea of the Owner is that you assign work to people on the "team" working on the dist... if it's just you, you cna do whatever you like

the message is included in the ticket log... you'd want to include the output of the tests passing, or a polite message thanking the person that submitted the patch

most of the fields are just so you can track your time ...

    Ok ... I'll soon find out for certain about that. (It's not my dist - I merely have maintainership permissions.)

    Update: Just as an fyi - I *can* close these tickets, despite not being the owner of the dist. (At least I've just managed to close one of 'em ... still got a few to go :-)

    The idea of the Owner is that you assign work to people on the "team" working on the dist

    I see ... the "Owner" is the person to whom the ticket has been assigned, not the "Owner" of the dist.

    Thanks for the answers, f00li5h.

    Cheers,
    Rob
