So let me explain, we use the BTS soap interface to retrieve a list of
bugs tagged "help" which are not closed yet. Then we assign those bugs
to source packages and display a message "heh you have X bugs tagged
help" and give a link of the form
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=ffmpeg&tag=help&pend-exc=done
In this report, the above linked showed nothing while the status of the
bug 704070 was this (dropping irrelevant fiels):
found libav/6:0.8.5-1 =>
pending pending
package ffmpeg
keywords help wontfix
severity minor
source ffmpeg, ffmpeg-debian, ffmpeg-free, libav
tags help wontfix
found_versions libav/6:0.8.5-1

(This can no longer be reproduced with this specific bug since it got
reassigned in the mean time)
Apparently that was not the case (cf above).

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=704070
(again now it's irrelevant since the only associated source is now libav
due to the reassign)
