I would add:
* party is NM and bug is present only on the NMR 'NM' did.
I was non-maintaining wmaker for a while (because the maintainer
was not available), and I introduced a few bugs, which I fixed on
a subsequent NMR. I asked here if I could close the bugs because
they where related to the NMU I did. The answer was 'yes, go
ahead'.
