Here's a patch which adds an 'edit own forum topics' permission to the forum module. I consider this a bug as many other modules (page, story, book etc.) have the ability to allow users to edit their own content but the forum module doesn't.

In general, I think we should standardize on the same set of permissions for every node type:
* create foo
* edit own foo
* access foo (optional, but recommended)
* admin foo (optional, but recommended)

So +1

This is pretty much useless, as "access" rights such as this cannot be checked at node listing time. The node access API needs to be used for this instead to get listings right.
