Are you asking that reportbug get (somehow, implementative detail) the
list of recently (but how much is "recent"?) closed bug in the whole
BTS or for a single package?

For a give pkg, you already have the list of resolved bugs not
archived (that happened after 30 days of inactivity).

If you think about the whole BTS, consider that reportbug (and his
companion querybts) are very package-centric, and I don't know who
feasable is to extend for this quite peculiar request.
