Yum related bugs are also closed with upstream, but still the Bodhi
update details contain the bug number, once the update upstream package
makes it's way into Fedora. Then everyone on the CC list of the Fedora
bug will also not notified once the update is there. Except that these
bugs do not show up in searches for open bugs, I do not see anything bad
with this approach.
