Sounds like it could be useful (that or some other way to identify
these if preferred), but think something that's missing either way
would be a way to automate/streamline it preferably without scripts.
Like additional actions for commit summaries (aka like 'Closes:').

In general think not many want to use bugz or do it manually on
removal. So these are often not even closed WONTFIX/OBSOLETE but
rather as FIXED through 'Closes:' regardless of what the devmanual
says (currently it instructs to do WONTFIX).
