IMHO there are always enough bugs fixed for each release in buzilla. Agreed
meaning for "closed" status was "the fix present in Wine release".

If bug reporter wasn't fast enough to report bug fixed in the 5 minutes
elapsed between AJ pushing new release tag and wholesale closing of all
fixed bugs in bugzilla does that mean we have to wait for 2 more weeks to
close such bugs? Same applies to people closing their bugs themselves after
verifying the fix in latest git. If they not supposed to do that, then
prohibit anyone except AJ from closing bugs.
