It affects the people using and maintaining the bug tracker due to the false 
positives it generates.

No, this won't work, because you actually have two separate issues, one for 
D1 and one for D2, one fixed and the other open.  eg the changelog is 
generated from the list of RESOLVED FIXED bugs, and won't pick up ones that 
changed status.

This is coming from the people who are fixing bugs.  This issues gets in the 
way of doing so.  I couldn't care less about the numbers.
