I am not convinced.

Why must such information, which are a dynamic property (can be renamed,
deleted), be present IN the bugtracker as comments ?

Consultants can know this information *without* that information being
in the bug-tracker. The VDD Generator produces a document, in both pdf
and html formats, that lists which fixes went into a release. This
document provides the information you need. When you release on your
test server, you could produce a VDD document and make it available on
that server for the consultants to view.

How far back do you search ? At which version should you stop ? You
don't know that unless you know *from* which version you are tagging.

No, I'll update the bug. You don't have permissions.
