As far as I understand it, the version field is extra information, like the
operating system, that helps to narrow down where a bug might lie.  I don't
think it's being used in the way you suggest (to track which bugs need to
be transplanted).  Unfortunately, the savannah interface does not make it
easy to do so.  Despite "Release" being a required field, one can't search
on it and quickly find the bugs for a particular version which have been
closed.

We could ask the savannah maintainers about adding that functionality.
They were fairly quick in responding to another request I had made.
