From my point of view, the problem currently is that the ways above are mixed. A user files a bug. The bug has UNCONFIRMED status. Then, someone with editbugs priveleges tries to assign the bug. He has the NEW, ASSIGNED and RESOLVED options to change its status. A bug is assigned to a team/ maintainter. The maintainer can change its status from NEW to ASSIGNED or RESOLVED. The maintainer marks the bug as RESOLVED. He can change that status again to UNCONFIRMED, REOPENED, VERIFIED or CLOSED. Even the RESOLVED <something> can be FIXED, INVALID, WONTFIX, DUPLICATE, WORKSFORME, CANTFIX, NEEDINFO, TEST-REQUEST, UPSTREAM, OBSOLETE. Someone would say that CANTFIX and UPSTREAM could be merged. The same with WONTFIX and OBSOLETE (it's a theory, I don't say we should do it). > ... > REOPENED gone, > CLOSED gone. VERIFIED will be added. What is the meaning of VERIFIED? (I also never understood the meaning of the old CLOSED). > > So I think we should convert... I think we should convert to the new [2] model too. The only reason I asked about the whole "workflow thing" on irc was because sometimes I get confused by all these options. I believe we should simplify them and update the bug-wranglers guide accordingly.
