I have closed several dozens of such bugs in the last month or two. When you fix a bug, it is fine to close it immediately, even if the change was not yet tested/reviewed. It takes 30 days before closed bugs are archived, which in 99.9 % of cases is more than enough for people to send a reply. It is also trivial to reopen bugs, where needed. If you want to wait with closing a fixed bug, I recommend always adding the "fixed" tag, which is documented like this: "This bug is fixed or worked around, but there's still an issue that needs to be resolved." - https://debbugs.gnu.org/Developer.html#tags (In the case of a fixed bug, testing and/or reviewing the change would be the "issue that needs to be resolved [before it can be closed]".) Following the above practice will facilitate locating fixed bugs, and closing them en masse if need be. These simple measures will be able to save us a lot of work, much more than I think people generally realize. Thanks.
