Assign issues to closed milestones in the UI

Problem to solve
To communicate with your users, it's very useful to know which issues was closed with which release.
However, currently, it is not possible to assign an issue, even a closed issue, to a closed milestone.
So, now, you need to reopen the milestone, assign the issue and reclose the milestone.
Intended users
Developers and Release Managers
Proposal
Allow to assign the milestone to a closed milestone, in the "Assign milestone" menu. Probably under a line, after the open milestones are listed.
Permissions and Security
No change to the current "Assign milestone".
What is the type of buyer?
Everyone would need this.
Implementation Guide
Solving the overall issue will require a UX proposal and a frontend change. But the workaround could be re-instated by allowing the /milestone quick action to assign closed as well as open milestones. This should be a relatively isolated change.
