One way is to trawl the commit log and see if there are commits
linking to the bug thread with a Discussion: marker.
This isn't 100% accurate, because a commit could possibly mention a
bug thread without claiming to resolve the bug fully. But it's
pretty reliable for issues raised in the last half dozen years or so.
A bigger hole in what you're doing is that bug reports don't
necessarily come in via the web form.
