fixed is there for cases where you've already -done'ed the bug, and
want to directly modify the fixed list (say you forgot to mention that
you fixed it in the changelog, or made a mistake, or someone found it
improperly, or...)
In most normal cases, you shouldn't need to use the fixed, found,
notfixed, or notfound commands directly. [Mails to nnn@b.d.o with a
Version: psuedoheader do found (and reopen if appropriate), and mails
to nnn-done@b.d.o with a Version: pseudoheader do fixed and done.]
