Description Maciej Stachowiak 2011-05-24 07:36:02 UTC 
I notice that there's no way for a bug filer to withdraw the bug. I suggest the description of the INVALID state say that it can also be used by the bug filer to withdraw it.  I've convinced people at least once that their bug is incorrect and asked them to resolve it INVALID so as not to have to take up the editor's time, in cases where it's not clearly junk or spam.
