You can implement this by subclassing the QuerySet. For example with:

from django.db.models import QuerySet

class MyModelQuerySet(QuerySet):
    def close(self):
        return self.update(status='closed', open_time=None, opener=None)

    def close_stuff(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.get_stuff_to_close_query_set(*args, **kwargs).close()

    def get_stuff_to_close_query_set(self, time):
        self.filter(…)

Then we can plug this into the MyModel:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    # …
    objects = MyModelQuerySet.as_manager()
