A quick question. When looking at issues.asterisk.org, It allows issues/bugs
to be filtered by "Asterisk Version". The 1.8.x options for the filter are:

1.8.2.3
1.8.2.4
1.8.3.2
1.8.4-rc2

Do you guys know whether bugs from the older version should still show up as
issues in the newer versions assuming that they weren't patched with the
newer version release? In other words, if I look at the issues/bugs for
1.8.4-rc2, can I feel confident that any bugs from previous releases that
are not explicitly listed for 1.8.4-rc2 have been patched somewhere between
that version and 1.8.4-rc2? Or should I examine every single issue for every
1.8.x version & look at the notes on each bug? Or if a bug's status is set
to Closed, can I assume that the latest release (1.8.4-rc2) should not
exhibit the bug?

I appreciate your input. I just want to make sure that I take the correct
approach to this and don't wind up with a system with bugs that I wasn't
expecting.

Personally I would check each one as there are #1 bugs that "live" from
version to version and #2 (and this doesn't happen too often, but it does)
bugs introduced by other bug fixes.
