Unnecessary, you can tell the user within the closing comment

Does it hurt though?
Yes, if everyone doesn't use it. And it's useless as long
as you can select only one "milestone".
It makes it alot easier to update things if necessary. Say for example we
decide not to release a specific version we can easily find all the relevant
bug reports and update the milestone version. Also it will help reminds
developers to even put this information in, compared to the current state of
affairs where the tendency to not note anything. Finally this information will
be a in a fixed location in a fixed format, compared to in the comments where
additional comments can clutter this information away.
We already have the fixed bugs in NEWS, that's enough.
Finally the RM can target any relevant open bugs easily this way and quickly
get to them.
I see only advantages and no real disadvantage.
I see only more work.
