The 3 one looks correct assuming you plan to close only bug reports and
only if they have no 6.x affected versions (i.e. having both 5.x and
6.x won't be closed). If other issue types are going to be closed too
then I assume that the search should have `project = QTBUG` instead of
`type = bug` and in that case I get 4 results.

But now I'm not sure what to do... It seems I couldn't
change the affected version of reports from other people but they all
are still valid:
https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTBUG-59668 - still lost after
QWidget::hide/QWidget::show with 6.11.2
https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTBUG-63884 - still no new
syntax support in 6.11.2 per https://doc.qt.io/QT-6/qdbusconnection.html
https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTBUG-80434 - still
periodically getting reports about boxes instead of text while all
other apps (which aren't Qt based) on the user's system are ok from
users with lots of fonts installed

The only I'm not sure about is
https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTBUG-88225 given that my
system renders text that bad not only in Qt apps but in entire system
when I disable ClearType. Though, application bug tracker has a note
from that user that he used Better ClearType Tuner to turn on grayscale
antialiaing while he didn't mention that in the Qt report for whatever
reason...
