Re: Closing issues (as opposed to Resolving).

[Andrew Purtell <ap...@apache.org>]

We had a discussion with Todd IIRC a whole back where we agreed that we'd
only commit multiple times under the same JIRA within a short period. I
think the consensus was a few hours. Otherwise we'd open a new JIRA to
record the change, with a pointer to the other issue of course. In this
context, closing after a release does no harm. If the consensus is to not
reopen after close, then we can adopt that too.
