No, what is needed in the subject line is an informative message which
tells you why the bug has been closed. Using close with the control
interface should not be done unless you've already sent a mail to the
bug submitter explaining that their bug has been closed.
The subject contains the subject of the message that actually caused
the bug to be closed, and explains what the message that it is sending
you is about, which it did.
