Thanks, it looks very clear now.

I'm not sure this needs to block implementation but it probably does
need to be thought about.  If the bug is totally hidden then people
may keep filing new dupes.  I don't know what fraction of the
developer pain typically comes from dupes vs ongoing discussion.

otoh the +filebug dupefinder seems to be pretty much mandatory these
days and it does match closed bugs, so perhaps nothing more is needed.
