I think this makes it needlessly difficult to tell from a package's report page which wishlist bugs were implemented, and which were rejected. Furthermore, the refusal of a maintainer to implement a wishlist request is something other developers might want to look at more closely. Perhaps what one person finds too difficult, or lacks the time to implement, is something another person might be able to accomplish. -- G.
