Public bug reported:

Anybody can change the status of a bug to "Fix released" by accident,
yet only some privileged users can revert that to whatever it was
before. And most of the time nobody will, because Ubuntu bugs are
handled in such an IDIOTIC way (and note that the idiot is by no means
the one who erroneously changes the status to "fix released"; the idiocy
is in allowing everybody to do that but not to revert it; and in the way
those really responsible for handling bug reports generally do it)

Here's an example:
