Yes and no -- we can easily figure out that "it's a bugzilla link and it
points at this bug", but we can't make any decisions based on it. Just because
it's a bug that is mentioned in a commit doesn't really mean that the bug is
fixed and we should close it.

E.g. it could be something like:

    foo: initial workaround for bar

    This implements a workaround for problems with bar (see bug link below).
    It's not a complete fix, so further work is required to address all issues
    identified in the bug report.

    Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5551212

It would be wrong here to auto-close this bug, but we can certainly add a new
comment that says:

    This bug was mentioned in commit abcd1234:
    https://git.kernel.org/linus/abcd1234
