That only works if abrt manages to figure out that a given problem
matches a given bugzilla.

And, uh, as a developer, I already deal with at least two bugzillas
daily.  And I _like_ that abrt tracks reports outside of bugzilla.  I'm
entirely comfortable with issuing updates with comments like "fixes
crash report NNN, fixes bug MMM".

But if I can't ever close old problem reports, then I can't use the
crash reporting system to tell me what my current hottest problems are.
So no, I really don't care about one more system to track issues,
particularly not one that I can already log in to with existing Fedora
credentials (OpenID even!).
