Yeah, the old closed code removed the pending tag.

The main problem with this is that it changes the syntax of max_buggy, which has all kinds of far-reaching effects. It seems this can be calculated as a separate call to a different function than max_buggy, and just populate another field that get_status returns instead of further overloading the pending field. In fact, I think what you may actually want to know is whether the bug is -done or not, not whether it's even fixed in a particular version in that archive. But I'm not totally sure about that. All of that said, thanks for taking the impetus to write up a patch for this.
