Package: reportbug
Version: 3.39-0.1
Severity: wishlist
When selecting an existing bug to add further information to,
reportbug asks you if the bug is present in the current version. If
you say yes, it adds a Version: line, which the BTS uses to mark the
bug with a "Seen in Version x". If you say no, the bug is no longer
present, then reportbug does nothing.
I think it would enhance reportbug's usefulness if, when saying the
bug is no longer present in the current version, you could then be
given the option to close the bug. This would mean sending the email
to [email protected] instead of [email protected].
The advantage, among others, of using reportbug to close the bug
rather than simply emailing directly to xxx-done@bugs is that the
closing email will then automatically contain current versions for all
dependencies, which may be useful in determining what exactly fixed
the bug.
I guess this operation would be the inverse of that requested in Bug
#447481 :)

Providing additional information is usually done by users, while the
action of closing a bug is on the maintainer's hands. So no, we won't
implement that.
