A pattern we discovered during p5p diner in YAPC::Europe is that there are
quite a few bugs in the database that *might* be closed based on the fact that
in the chain of reply messages the text "Thanks, applied" appears. We cannot
do this blindly however, since some of those applied patches have nothing to
do with the original posted bug report, but with (one of its) spinnoffs.

Just a hint towards diggers that are subscribed to bugmongers ...
