I agree, and that seems to be an artifact of
the single Fedora component in RHBZ, which
treats Fedora as one thing.

I supposed (in theory again) that there could
be a master bugzilla for the CVE which depends
on child bugzillas for each impacted Fedora
release, and would get (auto) closed only when
all the child bugzillas are resolved (either by
updates or the Fedora release aging out).

Alternatively, an entirely different bugzilla for
each Fedora release (but as Fedora is just
a single component, unlike each RHEL
which has different components for each
version, I don't think that works).

I think there should be at least an agreed
upon best practice, which needs to be
explicitly documented somewhere (maybe
it is, but I don't recall seeing it, so I am
not following it).

So, as with much of Fedora, we fall back
to depending on (usually volunteer)
packagers to do the right thing (which works
out well most of the time because packagers
such as yourself are contentious about
doing the right thing).
