[development] Policy for setting issues to 'fixed'

[Arancaytar]

Maybe an extra state around the words of "Fix Released"? "Fixed" would
be renamed to something like "Fix Committed", and only "Fix Released"
would be auto-closed?

I've had no problems as a contrib maintainer convincing users that they
just needed to wait for the release. But I also admit that I release
fixes for non-trivial bugs on a quick schedule of only a few days after
the initial commit if no other problems are reported.

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
