No, sending the "close 45" action to address@hidden triggers
also an email to the submitter of the bug. Adding the commit reference +
message shall also be possible.

Sending a commit link might be more tricky. The bug could belong to
another pakage but "emacs", debbugs cannot know the base of the package
repository.

Sure. There must be an obvious indication that the bug shall be
closed. "Fixes #45" was just the example I've taken from the Github page
you've referenced to. It could be any other keyword.
