[TYPO3-bugs] Discussion: Close vs. resolve in Mantis Bugtracker

Duplicates still leave quite me perplex from time to time. The main 
problem for me is that duplicate relations go both ways. On the one hand 
with is pretty logical, but on the other hand it makes hard to find 
which "copy" is being worked on. It should be possible to mark which bug 
is the "original". In that sense closing duplicates is not a bad 
solution. Maybe we need to come up with a new status however.

Cheers
