Well than we should also send a message to the author and tell him, that
we fixed the bug and send him also the patch so he can incorporate it in
the next release. Normally you write to the submitter and tell him why
the bugreport has been closed. This could be expanded for the above
situation so, that you send a email with the new patch also to the
author, when you close the bug and make the NMU.

That would be a start.
