Research direction

Start by comparing Bugzilla bug 2001962 comments c17–c19 and the regressing bug 2011220 to confirm which status-flag update is repeated. Then trace the bugbot path that emits release-status messages; done means the flags are set once and subsequent duplicate comments are suppressed, with regression coverage if the existing test structure supports it.

Description

area-Noise Reduction

See these comments by bugbot:

They all contain

Set release status flags based on info from the regressing bug 2011220

... but only the first one sets the flags. The other two comments are duplicative. Something seems to have gone wrong here.
