[CentOS] CentOS Bugtracker: how to give up on an issue?

[Mike Burger]

Tilman:

Just log into to Bugtracker, go to the open request, and mark it closed.
You should also be able to take yourself off of the list of folks watching
the bug, so that you stop getting emails regarding the bug in question.
