Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] How to close migrated issues without a merge?

My understanding is that people have to be made members at the "Reporter" level or higher in order to close issues (which is moving issues to the Closed list) or otherwise manage them (label, etc.)

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html#permissions

Since the project doesn't have people with Reporter level membership, it's really just the core team members that can close issues.
(Effectively, merging gates them the same way since the core team must approve merges.)

Here's another obvious example that should be closed, regarding Bugzilla and MIME types of files:

No code to merge. Doing housekeeping.

Added a comment showing the fix but can't close the issue.
Is there a way to assign issues back to the person that opened it on bugziila?
