Wonderful. While you are at it, could you apply labels to them? NEEDS-COMMITTER, MONITOR, PING-AUTHOR, CLOSE-NO_TICKET.
We do not need to apply labels on something which is actively worked on. I would like to just have a filter on which these are. Your categorisation is valuable insight but I just do not know which they are right now to act on it.
