We do something like this for Fedora. After the new kernel gets rebased,
we ask the reporters if the bug is still reproducible. This helps
prune down some of the one off cases nobody ever saw again as well as
issues which were actually fixed. Humans sometimes get annoyed at this as
it looks like we're not paying attention but bots wouldn't care if we
closed their own issues.
