How would Partial-Bug and Related-Bug differ for our purposes? Wouldn't
they do the same thing (i.e. add a comment to the bug)? Could we get
away with two tags:

Ping-Bug: 12345 -- Add a comment to bug 12345
Bug (or Closes-Bug): 12345 -- Add a comment and mark it RESOLVED FIXED.

Just "Ping-Bug" and "Bug" works for me.

I tried to modify the "patchset-created" rule to only add a comment for
the first change. In at least one case subsequent revisions were
spamming the bug with the same comment. It looks like the rule had a
bug. It should be fixed now.

Thanks!
