Well, it looks like this close date is not an attribute of the bug, but
something the database keeps internal for countdown of the 28 days,
until the bug will be archived. Once archived, this information doesn't
seem to be available anymore.

Anyway, I've sent a request to <https://bugs.debian.org/942843>.

Best regards, Michael.
