Agreed. However, I'd suggest one minor modification to this idea: That it be a project-specific setting.

Some projects may wish to track this manually because it fits in with a model of verifying each bug, whilst others will do that verification beforehand, which they may use a tag for.

In the options for a project, it should ask "Do you want to automatically close bugs whose fixes have been committed when they are released in a milestone?" or something along those lines, so that it's perfectly clear that the settings changes how Launchpad will work with bugs.

@Lionel -- As an aside, you do not have to close them manually. You can use Launchpad's email interface to modify bugs en masse, so when you make a release, you can do something like this:

  for bug in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do printf " bug $i\nstatus fixreleased\n\n"; done

In your favorite shell, and paste the results in an email to be sent to <email address hidden>, which will process the bulk request. See https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/EmailInterface#bug for more info on that.
