Subject: [PATCH] Override project status in Closed Bugs workflow (#46253)

Since the project board to which the closed bugs with new comments are
added might have an automated workflow for moving closed issues to the
"Done" status, we need to override the status to ensure the bugs are
actually surfaced to the team and not buried in "Done".
