Description

This issue is based on the autonag feedback survey.

We should do it without sending bugmail, and not for bugs that were wontfix.

We already have a similar thing for regression bugs where the regressed_by field is not empty. The idea here is to do similar things for other bugs. For example, if Fx106 is affected, automatically mark Fx107 as affected once Fx107 is out.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing handling for regression bugs where regressed_by is populated, then trace how new Firefox versions and Bugzilla status flags are processed. Define the affected-to-next-version behavior, excluding wontfix bugs and avoiding bugmail; done means a bug affected in Fx106 is automatically marked affected in Fx107 after release.
