Comment (by generosus):

 Hi @Otto42,

 Apologies, don't mean to stretch this.

 The point is to make sure plugin developers do not close topics as
 "Resolved" until they actually provide a real solution for the topic.

 Topic "thread starters" have the right to close their topic as "Resolved"
 (for any reason) since they own it.

 Adding the new drop-down option "Answered" will give plugin developers the
 option to "close" (temporarily) a topic and indicate it has been
 reviewed/answered until they actually resolve it (if they ever do).

 In short, both the plugin user and developer can still use the existing
 "Resolved" option. If the user feels the developer has not really solved
 their issue, they can still change it to "answered". No lock-downs. The
 plugin developer is encouraged to use "Answered" if they cannot/will not
 provide a solution.

 Cheers!
