PR still opened but stated as fixed in CHANGES (2.4 branch)

[Christophe JAILLET <ch...@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi,

if someone is interested, here is a list of all PR still marked as NEW 
in bugzilla but that are stated as fixed in CHANGES in the 2.4 branch.

I had started to have a look at them in order to close them but:
     - some are confusing to me
     - some have comments that they should be backported to 2.2.

So I provide it as-is, in case someone want to have a look at it, close 
and comment the ones that should be closed and propose for backport the 
ones that worth it.

I did the same for 2.2, but the list is more or less empty.

My 2 cents:

It is worth simplifying the process for bug handlers/helpers to reduce the
chance that bugs stay open too long, even if it means that a user
interested in a fix has to know that closed !=
released-from-desired-branch.  I suspect that some of the confusion about
older bugs wouldn't exist if the bug was dispensed with sooner by the
person working on the fix.

* close no later than when the fix is in a stable branch; some fixes may
not seem necessary to backport when the developer first handles, such as
when there is a trivial workaround or it is reported on a dev branch; those
can be closed ASAP
* update a bug with a one-liner when it is committed to any earlier branch
* update a bug with a one-liner when it is first released from any branch
(part of RM?)
* if a user explicitly requests that it be backported, place in appropriate
status file (even without votes if you're just helping address bug updates)
but keep the bug closed; update the bug to mention that it has been proposed
