How about notification when the bug is closed?
How about when the maintainer wants to ask for additional
details on the report? If I ask a submitter for more info,
and that email bounces, I will feel inclined to close the bug.
(Yes, sometimes some time passes before more info may be asked,
e.g. to ask if a new upstream version fixes the problem.)
