When you give an empty query string to `debbugs-gnu-search', it falls
back to the behaviour of `debbugs-gnu', which does not allow interactive
setting of "status" yet. Maybe this attribute shall be added for
interactive query?

You could suppress showing bugs with status "done" and "forwarded" by

(add-to-list 'debbugs-gnu-default-suppress-bugs
             '(status . "done\\|forwarded"))

But this is applied client side only, when toggling the result list with
"x". Not so performant in retrieving.
