Jan, who is responsible for closing security bugs after the updates were pushed out? Is it the security team or the package maintaners?
Dan, typically SRT will close these but it is a bit of hit-or-miss due to what is shipped. If Fedora fixes it, great, but if it is also shipped in RHEL, then it can't be closed if it hasn't been dealt with there. In this case, wxGTK is not included in RHEL so this could be closed, but in a lot of cases when something affects Fedora and RHEL, maintainers should not close the bugs because they still need to be dealt with in RHEL. So in general, no, we do not want maintainers closing these bugs.
