I do not see any way that a user can do that ... if you insist, I will
mark them closed.  We don't delete them and I am not entirely sure what
making them closed would do for you in particular.

I understand that you are not happy that it took so long to get updated,
but these are now actually valid items.  If you would like me to close
them, then let me know ... however, I have just actually reported them
upstream so they should probably stay open.
