You mean http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147025 ?

Did you actually try to login? If you do, don't you see the radiobox 
choices including "Resolve bug, changing resolution to Fixed" and a 
"Commit" button below? If you see those you can just click them. If 
someone complains, that other someone can still reopen that bug at a 
later point in time.

In other words, there is no "ownership" of the bugs. Any of the gnucash 
developers can open and close any other bugs. The "ownership" rather 
refers to a loose promise saying "I'm responsible and I hope to do the 
work at some point in time".

I'm sure jsled or Derek can add such a component.

You can do this yourself. Make a query on Linas, and choose "reassign to 
chris shoemaker" on each of the bugs.
