We can link code changes to reported issues, even if the issue is
reported after the code change has been released.  That's what I wanted
to 'enable' with my proposal.

Instead of resolving the bug as WORKSFORME without any trace to the code
change that fixed it, we resolve it as FIXED and create that link post
factum.

By having a convention for how to markup fixes in earlier versions in
.changes, the machine can create a correct comment in Bugzilla, even if
the markup appears in a later version.  So maybe we should make it more
machine readable:

  - Fixed-In 0.1: BCM#xxxx.

Or maybe:

   - Fixes: BCM#xxx (in 0.1), BCM#xxx (in 0.2).

Or we just don't make a special syntax for this and accept that the
Bugzilla comments will not mention the right version.
