About this, the patches that have the Related-To should be taken into
account when changing the bug to MODIFIED?

If so the bug will not be changed to MODIFIED if the last open bug uses
Related-To tab instead og Bug-Url.

If not, you might end up with open patches added t a bug that is on
MODIFIED state.

And you will have bugs not on POST state that have external bugs, as
those bugs will not change the status.

Is that ok? I can add a message to one of the fields of the bug so
it's easy to see it's a related bug.
