Thanks for both the pointer to bug#-done to close the issue, and for the discussion list  emacs-devel@gnu.org pointer.

Thanks, closing.

I'm not sure if there's a special permission required, but if you add
"-done" to the local part of the debbugs email address when replying
(see this message for an example), it should close the bug.

I'd recommend emacs-devel@gnu.org if you'd like to discuss things with a
wider audience first. Otherwise, both features and bugs can go in
bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org, I'd say.
