Please don't re-open closed bugs

Please don't re-open closed bugs that are included in releases, since 
that messes up Jira's change log for the release.  Bugs normally 
transition from Open to Resolved/Fixed, then to Closed when a release is 
made.  It's okay to re-open a bug whose fix has not yet been released, 
but it is generally better to create a new bug in this case too.

Ideally I could modify the Jira permissions so that non-administrators 
cannot transition bugs from Closed to Open and are forced to instead 
start a new bug, but that does not appear to be possible.
