Better read that as "the maintainer of the package", i.e. Richard and you.

By default, if you specify "the version" in which a bug was fixed, the
BTS assumes that the bug remains fixed in all subsequent versions.  So
if you say the bug is fixed in 0.47-1 then it is considered fixed in
0.47-2 as well.

I think you should keep #566060 open until such time as you apply the
patch or package the next version of monotone.
