As a special case of this, security bugs should NOT be marked as a
duplicate of a non-security bug. In most cases the security bug should be
left open and made to "depend on" the non-security bug. Please leave a note
in the whiteboard of the security bug along the lines of "will be fixed by
XXX", and mark the security bug "FIXED" when it's blocking bug is. The
separate security bug is a trigger that reminds us to:

   - verify the security issue is really fixed
   - write advisories when the time comes
   - track bug bounties when applicable
