So if -static issue is described in README.Debian or
similar, and provides a solution for using static libraries,
then even if people submits a bug like Bug#121278(Yes, it's
also the same situation), can I close such bug? or should it
be left as current status of Bug#121278?
And when I get a bug as "libfoo doesn't work with -static",
who should own it?

I would know it on the presumption that you know it's ELF
spec.
