IMO only the responsible party (Walter, for DMD) or the submitter should 
alter a ticket's status.  I appreciate the effort of others try and keep 
things all neat and tidy, but I'm not sure things have gotten to the 
point where this sort of help is truly necessary.  If you suspect a 
ticket is a duplicate, perhaps it would be more appropriate to post 
something to the effect here and let the submitter decide?
