If outsiders' opinions count, here goes a +1 for mass-WONTFIX and if
someone feels a certain resolution in a certain report is wrong (and
cares enough) they will reopen.
PS: I personally like to handle enhancement requests in bugzilla too,
since the line between bug and feature is many time blurry. However, I
disagree with the idea that in an open source any enhancement request is
good and therefore must remain open. If the current development team
seems that a request is pointless / utopia / a deviation from the
current plans etc then it is ok to mark as WONTFIX. If someone feels
like fighting then they can reopen, assign to themselves, show how wrong
the maintainers were, fork, etc. Keeping unanswered open requests for
years helps nobody.
