Would it be possible/sensible to automatically close a bug when the patch is merged? Or did I miss something?
In theory, yes. Someone already started writing a plugin to do the same thing for Jira[0]. Might be a good starting place for a Bugzilla plugin (and RT?).
http://www.theoldmonk.net/gitzilla/ exists but I cannot offer any field reports. Current workflow is cumbersome ("patch-in-gerrit" keyword which should express a "patch to review" bug status). Automatic closing of reports as RESOLVED FIXED via a bot from Gerrit/Git could also have its cornercases (e.g. merging several patches across components, support reverting of Git merges by reopening Bugzilla ticket?, etc.). Would require some thoughts and testing.
