Thanks Michael,
I support this. We will need to reopen some issues then.
One thing that would be good would be to distinguish issues that had no
actions at all from a glance vs. having to dig through the issue itself. Is
there any way to tag these accordingly?

Subject: Proposal for how to deal with issues and actions and when to
close
We've been having a lot of confusion for when to keep issues in Tracker
open and when to close them. After discussion in a couple fora I suggest we
adopt the following principles:
If an action item is created to make a document edit that addresses
the issue, close the issue even before the action item is completed.
We would need to be careful to review both action items and issues
when deciding if the plate is clear before key transitions.
If an action item is created to make a proposal for how the issue
might be addressed, leave the issue open so the group can discuss the
proposal. Once a proposal is accepted, the issue can be closed and an
action to make the edit created if needed.
Michael
