Not really, Closes is already used for multiple providers of
infrastructure such as Bitbucket and GitHub, so here URI is anyways
needed and isn't specific to Gentoo. Debian bug wouldn't be closed by us
to begin with, but it'd fit into a generic Reference: tag if we pulled a
patch from it or it discusses it somehow. Ditto for upstream, that goes
in Reference as well
