I don't think you should use scrips for this because it will be asynchrone.

I would do:

- set a user or group CustomField to record each ones limits
- add a method to local/lib/RT/User_Local.pm named CheckStatusLimit,
that retrieve the user/group limit, get the list of owned tickets and
check if limit are reached, then return if the new status is allowed or not.
- use callbacks (Tickt/Display.html and other plaes where user can
change status) or override maybe ProcessTicketBasics, to use this method
before accepting status change. Display proper error to user if not allowed


I would avoid enforcing this in Ticket->SetStatus method as you may
wan't to allow others to force status or even scripts.
