Usually many bugs in one release are shared with the next one. So the 
ideal procedure would be setting the bug status as incomplete, then 
telling the user:

 > If you are still experiencing this bug in any currently Ubuntu
 > release (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) then:
 >
 > 1. Enter that release first name into the tag list.
 > 2. Set this bug status back to "confirmed".

 > Thank you.

I have sent a message to dino99 telling him this.

I would had clean up the procedure myself, but reaching consensus with a 
person or two here on that topic has been so blocking in the pass that I 
have been postponing it for years.

(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Triage) needs to be broken into smaller 
parts, so you have a global view of the process as it is done at 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/One%20Hundred%20Papercuts/Triage).
