Current Bugzilla policy says CLOSED as UPSTREAM is correct resolution. It's
just terminology - I would prefer another one - like just UPSTREAM status, or
ON_DEV UPSTREAM or something similar. CLOSED UPSTREAM does not mean that
nobody cares! It's still tracked!
There's an 'Upstream' keyword you can use instead of the UPSTREAM
resolution. The choice of which to use is currently left up to
maintainer discretion.
