I think the stable upload policy might permit some particular bugs to
be closed, especially if the bug is very annoying, or very important
and the fix relatively simple and has an attached patch. Use your
judgment.
If you'd like to "queue" some particular stable uploads, perhaps you
might usertag them with an appropriate tag, and someone (perhaps me)
should go upload them. I currently lack the time to triage bugs and/or
patches for stable uploads, but I would have time to go over a triaged
list and do the actual proofreading and uploading I guess.
In all cases, as Josselin said, you can close the bug with the
appropriate version of the package.

I'm not sure I'm interested in uploads for "oldstable", I doubt anyone
uses GNOME there, and I'm not even sure we may still upload therein.
The same bug closures rules apply IMO.
Thanks for your work, I appreciate it too!
