Comment 2 for bug 202501

Preventing people from confirming their own bug reports is bug 57854. Other than that, though, I'm not sure how this would work. Currently we let anyone change a bug's status, and that's an important way for volunteer contributors (especially beginning contributors) to help out with projects. For example, if a bug existed in version A and no longer exists in version B, it's legitimate for anyone to mark the bug as fixed, not just the maintainer. If we restricted this, how would projects learn which potential QA contributors *should* be granted access?
