Usually when bugs are marked FIXED, somebody just blurts something like "fixed on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a3pre) Gecko/20070218
Minefield/3.0a3pre ID:2007021815 [cairo]".

While this is fine and dandy for some of you, the rest of us don't really comprehend what this means. It's would be nice if you'd add a field which would state which _release_ x.y.x the patch will fix. Thanks. I guess this would help fight bugs that creep up from the crypt too.

Reproducible: Always

That's what the target milestone is used for. Else you can add your own custom fields if an additional field is really wanted.

I'm mostly talking about somebody else's bugs. The target milestone is almost always left empty. Maybe it should be made obligatory when FIXED status is reached? And often the field contains strange stuff, not simple release numbers. But hey, whatever.
