Quite pathetic, there's little legal risk with most the disappearing bugs, and internal members all the same as external should be able to use the same interface regardless. Who gets to comment and change status is up to the developer handling the bug report, just how many open-source projects employ Trac for that purpose. Though Sun has a history of making their employees use crappy tools to do their work, so go figure.
