At the moment, most bugs never make it to VERIFIED or CLOSED status.
If you like, you can feel free to mark bugs as VERIFIED.  What this
involves is making sure that you can no longer reproduce the bug with
the version where the maintainer claims to have fixed it.

I wouldn't mark any bugs as CLOSED at this time, since it might make
further bug hacking on resolved bugs harder.

You don't -have- to take any action.  But if you verify that the bug
is indeed fixed, and mark it as VERIFIED in bugzilla, that's a really
nice confirmation that the bug really is gone.  HTH,
