fixing subject of Bugzilla issues
Is it OK to change the subject field of bugzilla issues ?
For instance the subject of https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48837 is currently "Memory leaks protection does not cure leaks triggered by JSP pages code"
After Mark applied the patch, I'd prefer to have the following subject which better reflects the final status/outcome of the bug : "Memory leaks protection does not detect leaks triggered by JSP pages code"
Is there an established rule on this subject (pun intended) ?

Yes, although it doesn't happen that often.

No, but all changes are reported to the mailing list and Bugzilla
retains the history so if someone did make a change the community didn't
approve of it would be easy to revert.
I'm +0 for this particular change.

You want to s/cure/detect/ ?
I guess you are confusing the goal and the root cause of the issue.
The problem was that memory leaks protection cannot apply its remedy
to those leaks, and the issue is solved only if it is able to do that.
Being able to detect them is just a part of the issue (the root cause
of it). If it fixes the whole issue, it is good.

None.
Renames in bugzilla do happen, but otherwise I'd prefer to focus on
the changelog file. That is what people read.
