I think the status quo is fairly good.  The status quo is only a
simple, `it's fixed' message needs to be generated (easing the job of
the overworked people that make the compiler happen (Thanks Jeff)).

We should teach people to first cvs update, and retest before
reporting a bug.  This way, if there was such a fix in cvsweb, then
certainly the sources grabbed with cvs update would have the fix, and
certainly if they retested, the problem would not appear.  This is
easier on them, as then they don't have to read anything.  With your
proposal, they would.  If the problem isn't fixed, and not reported,
then reporting it is good.  If it is reported, then they can either
report it again (to let people know it is important), or just skip
sending in a report.

Requiring additional time from Jeff or Jim I think is a bad idea.  I
think their time is better spent doing what they do best.
