Well, unless they have a triage team, you're counting on developers having a Spidey-sense that there's an open issue related to what they're working on. I assume the issue list is something they never asked for but feel obligated to doing a minimal amount to clean up.

Huh? You don't need a spidey sense to close a bug you just fixed, you just close it.

This assumes that the person fixing the bug is either the same one who filed the bug, or they were motivated to fix the bug after finding the GitHub issue.

In many cases, the fix comes from within Facebook or from a different contributor when we/they run into the issue themselves.

And this is exactly why React Native is such an unprofessional pile of crap. Random code changes from random people with no prioritization, documentation or coherent history.

So they cannot do even the basic issue tracking? Wow, what a mess.
