At least for mozilla products, please don't set fixed-upstream, since a
bug that is marked FIXED can only be fixed in mozilla trunk ONLY or in
the 1_8_BRANCH but not in 1_8_0_BRANCH.
See bz#272670 for example, it is fixed in mozilla trunk only, which means
it will be fixed in firefox 3.0. In quite a lot of time. Most of the
time, fixes on the trunk qre q pqin in the ass to backport because of
all the changes between gecko 1.8 and 1.9.
Moreover, I think a bug should be only marked fixed-upstream if it is
actually fixed in a released work, or a soon to be released work. Not in
a CVS branch that will reach release status in more than a year.
Apart from that, it's pretty neat.
