I would like to add that in some cases in Debian we add the tag
'wontfix' to the bug, there are many cases when it makes more sense
than close the bug.

Keep in mind that closing the bug with 'reject' or not, other
submitter couldn't notice that and just report it again early or late.
You should just add 'wontfix' or something like that to the status
list, IMHO.

Hope that helps,
