Unnecessary, you can tell the user within the closing comment

Does it hurt though?
Yes, if everyone doesn't use it. And it's useless as long
as you can select only one "milestone".
It makes it alot easier to update things if necessary. Say for example
we decide not to release a specific version we can easily find all the
relevant bug reports and update the milestone version. Also it will
help reminds developers to even put this information in, compared to
the current state of affairs where the tendency to not note anything.
Finally this information will be a in a fixed location in a fixed
format, compared to in the comments where additional comments can
clutter this information away.
We already have the fixed bugs in NEWS, that's enough.
Finally the RM can target any relevant open bugs easily this way and
quickly get to them.
I see only advantages and no real disadvantage.
I see only more work.

Which nobody is asking *You* to do. If someone else is willing to put in
the time and effort to at least *try* to improve things, at least let
them waste their own time as they see fit (if that turns out to be the
case). Quit being such a wet blanket and lets see if this does help in
practice.
