You can close them yourself. You don't need special privileges 
for that.

If the issue has been fixed and you know the corresponding 
commit/PR, close as FIXED, and add a link to the fix on GitHub.

If the test case passes but you don't know what fixed it, close 
as WORKSFORME.

Of course, don't close if it could be a platform specific issue; 
do ask the submitter to test again before closing; etc. That is, 
apply common sense.

Also be aware that tests that failed at some point can be 
valuable additions to the code base to avoid regressions.
