Yes, but they should provide enough information (commit hash, issue
number etc.) about their reasons to close those issues.

Also slightly off-topic, but we should be more transparent about
giving people triage rights on the tracker. I'm seeing some unknown
people (at least they are unknown to me) who assign issues to
themselves without knowing what the field is about.
