Description
Some ago, I filed https://github.com/mozilla/bugbot/issues/978 to help with the backlog of security bugs with unlanded tests by reminding people to land their tests. The full explanation can be seen in that issue and I recommend skimming it once more.
It looks like this was closed in a forward-looking way that people can use reminders in the future, which is nice.
However, this does not deal with the pre-existing bugs that have no reminder and a reviewed patch attached which has never been landed. It would be nice if we could also solve that.

Research direction
Start by reading issue 978 and tracing the existing reminder behavior described there. Identify how pre-existing Bugzilla security bugs with reviewed patches that were never landed are detected; done means those bugs receive appropriate reminders without breaking the forward-looking reminder flow.
