Thanks, closing.

I'm not sure if there's a special permission required, but if you add 
"-done" to the local part of the debbugs email address when replying 
(see this message for an example), it should close the bug.

I'd recommend emacs-devel <at> gnu.org if you'd like to discuss things with a 
wider audience first. Otherwise, both features and bugs can go in 
bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org, I'd say.
