The way to fix this is to not close bugs using fixed, but to close them using -done when they are first completed. Using -done notifies the submitter and has a bunch of other nice properties that just setting fixed doesn't. There's an argument to be made that we should instead warn loudly if a bug has been fixed without having been -done so the person marking it fixed knows to send a message to -done as well.
