Would it be possible/sensible to automatically close a bug when the patch is merged? Or did I miss something?
That would require two things: A) Far more integration between Gerrit and Bugzilla than we currently have. B) An assumption that every commit that mentions a bug actually fixes it.
And I really don't like the idea of B. I can easily see people mentioning bugs that are related to a commit in the commit message but not directly fixed by it.
I do not know enough about Gerrit and how hard it would be to implement this, but B could be solved by having some popup that asks the person merging a patch if the patch fixes the bug mentioned in the commit message.
