Cesare,
you should be able to remove any questions on your Need attention report by posting a comment on the question.
For example, just post an answer on any of these Open questions and it will be removed from your Need attention report (since they will move to the Answered state.)
Alan, in the current model, "posting an answer" on a question is like "closing" it.
If you see any questions for which you were the last one to provide information on your Need attention report, then this is indeed a bug. |

Ok, I kind of see the problem.
In that particular case, it would have been better to file a bug about the user's issue and link it to the question. That way, the question would have been 'Answered' (and off your todo list), but the user would still be able to track the long-term resolution of the issue.
But anyway, I'm confirming this bug as we already have a 'Change status' action allowing privileged users to set the status of a question to an arbitrary value. This operation is currently restricted to Launchpad admins and project drivers/registrants. Once we implement 'privileged' answer contacts (answer contacts that are endorsed by the software project as providing "official answers"), we can allow these answer contacts to use the 'Change status' operation. |

I'd also point out that if a user reopens his question, it will be expired after two weeks if nobody post to it. That would also clean the Open questions lists. But since in that particular case, the questions would be an Expired answered question, it would still be useful to allow 'official' answer contacts to fix the status. |

This feature depends upon the badges spec targeted for 1.1.8 |
I removed the milestone because the feature it depends upon will be complete at the end of 1.1.8. Also, we are working to achieve better integration with Bugs for the next few months, so this is not a top priority. I will re-evaluate this each release to see if it can be added to the milestone. |
