I think the key difference between what Bill and Jake are saying is that Bill
is saying a new feature needs approval in a more structured way. I think Bill's
process is open the jira, then it is "approved" or "won't do" then work starts.
I think what Jake is saying is a little less structured. That may be my reading
though.

I think this is very different from what this thread was initially asking
for. An “approved” state is very different in my book than a bug needing more
info, “triage” state. I would definitely agree with this change to add a “needs
info”/“triage” state to bugs. It fits my previous statement that a ticket is
opened when there is reasonable belief work needs to be done. In this case the
initial work is to fully understand the issue. The next step is to progress to
fixing or closed.
