Well then our understanding differs here. If a bug is closed as a reporter I
would like to know which release will have the fix. In the case of libraries I
could e.g. add a configure check for that version and disable a workaround if
the user has a recent enough version.

How will the user then know that it actaully happend. Once we release 1.10 one
has to make a query to bugzilla to get all open bug with that target milestone
and either postpone the release or move that target-milestone to 1.11.

I am open to ideas here. Its more a sanity check that ensure that now build
aborts etc.
