It was similar in javapackages-tools. It included a change in
documentation which would have most likely been missed by eager
provenpackager and maintainers could just ignore a closed bug so this
wouldn't have been fixed...

Generally filing those 42 (yay, what a nice number) bugs would have been
better IMO, but if you are willing to re-run that repoquery in a few
months and file bugs for remaining packages I see no harm.
