What I meant is, a reporter (and possibly several/many others) are subscribed to a bug in Bugzilla already. They get email when the bug changes. If the fixer puts a URL to a git/SVN change in the bug when closing, any of the recipients can click on it to see how exactly it was resolved. When the fix is finally packaged, yes, you can include the bug(s) fixed in bodhi, the update system. Then the bugs get automagically notified and closed when the update is made available, respectively, in testing and then stable. -- Paul W.
