I'm confused. We have three cases:
1. Close bug #12345 directly (12345-done), noting the version that fixed it.
2. Note in the changelog that bug #12345 is fixed; the bug receives a
notification of the version that fixed it.
3. Note in the changelog that bug #12345, "ls --crash crashes", is
fixed; the bug receives a notification of the version that fixed it.
#3 is obviously ideal, if the maintainer has time; no debate there.
However, you're saying that #1 is preferable to #2. Why? It seems to
have no disadvantage to #1, with the added advantages that I can check
which version fixed bug #12345 without hitting the network (since it's
documented in the changelog), and saves developer time. What am I missing?
