In most cases it will be sufficient to simply re-target the issue by
setting a new "affects version". I can imagine some less common
situations where an issue is partially addressed in ODF 1.2 with
completion in ODF-Next, but that is better handled via sub issues, to
preserve the connection.
In any case, I think the recommendation for ODF-Next issues was, that if
someone was interested in owning a particular issue, they should assign it
to themselves and set Affects Version to ODF 1.2 and Fix Version to one of
the ODF 1.3 CSD's. For issues that do not have owners, we can let them
sit for now.
