Tag it 'fixed'. You indicate the bug is fixed, to your knowledge, and
all related scripts treat it like that. But the bug will remain in the
BTS until the maintainer verified it and really closes the bug.
It is even (see developers reference) a must to tag bugs fixed rather
than really close them if you are maintainer nor submitter (hm, I have
sinned to that rule before...).
