The thing is, the script removes archived bugs and issues that are not
reproduced anymore and marked as "deterministic" in issues.yml.
I read over the diff after that's done and manually remove notes for
packages that I confirm are indeed fixed (mostly, because the changelog
says it fixed those issues indeed) and which comments just describe what
the problem used to be.

Having the script blindly remove the "comment" section would be
dangerous, as that could easily accidentally remove stuff that was meant
to be preserved.


Vagrant: did you perhaps notice that I (manually or automatically?)
removed notes for stuff that indeed shouldn't have been removed?

That's `clean-notes` in reproducible-misc.git :)
