I think you can recognize it by the "Done:" header on the web page:

  Done: Marc Haber <mh+debian-packages@zugschlus.de>

I see it in an old bug that was closed by a package release
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=731023
but not in a still open bug which is awaiting closure by package release
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=993646


(The release close mechanism can be seen in the debian/changelog
of the affected package:
  * Introduced debian/xorriso.info list. (Closes: #731023)
This way the maintainer does not have to remember solved bugs when the
fixed release gets out.)


Have a nice day :)
