Sounds like it could be useful (that or some other way to identify these if preferred), but think something that's missing either way would be a way to automate/streamline it preferably without scripts. Like additional actions for commit summaries (aka like 'Closes:'). In general think not many want to use bugz or do it manually on removal. So these are often not even closed WONTFIX/OBSOLETE but rather as FIXED through 'Closes:' regardless of what the devmanual says (currently it instructs to do WONTFIX). -- ionen
