Fine. Forward it to them, then. The policy mailing list is
there to take care of *non-controversial* technical issues, and this
happens to be neither. We work by near consensus.
If this were indeed a policy issue, then this should be a
proposal. It is not. The bug filer even said this is not meant to be
a proposal. As such, I think this has no place here.
This report is merely cluttering up the bug page for
debian-policy, which is used to track the status of discussions on
policy itself.

Nope. This is a technical policy, or supposed to be. We decided
that the bug closing conventions better belong in something like
developers-referece(along with admonitons about the mailing list and
everything), and a wishlist bug with suggested wording has been filed
against that package [#39519: Recommended Bug closure practice].
