How is
| printf "close 123\nclose 456\nthank\nThese Bugs have been fixed for a long time" | \
| mail -s "closing old bugs" control(at)bugs.debian.org
"much easier" than:
| printf "These Bugs have been fixed for a long time" | \
| mail -s "closing old bugs" {123,456}-done(at)bugs.debian.org

There is no need for "###-done messages for each bug report", _one_
message sent to a bunch of ###-done addresses does the trick.
