i think the current regression tracking methods that Rafael uses work very well and i'd like to thank Rafael for those efforts - to me as a subsystem maintainer it is a _very_ useful thing.
In this case there was no real harm from the "this bug is already fixed" condition - just an extra email. Real harm would only come from missed regressions or from incorrectly closed regressions - but those are not happening.
note that there is no "robot" involved in changing the state of bugs - the real important work here is done by Rafael and checking whether a bug is still relevant is an inevitably manual work. The mails and reports are auto-generated but crawling discussions and determining the status of a regression is very hard to automate.
