There is a new version of JIRA that makes it easier to do bulk closing. Ideally we only resolve and then close when we release. Infra does not want to upgrade JIRA yet because of a possible memory leak issue.
They have suggested this type of bulk close can be done with a jelly script[1]. They also said many projects leave issues as resolved. I can't remember why we want to close them. I believe it affects some of the JIRA reports and release notes. So in the short run we have a few different options: 1.) Stop closing 2.) Resolve and close button. 3.) Jelly script Can you tell me which projects have a resolve and close button? Are they ASF projects? I'd like to see what they are doing ...
