Now it sounds like Todo is the same as In progress, set by a developer 
when he is ( or is about to be ) working on  it.  And Triaged is for 
bugs that are ready to be pulled into that pool, which is what confirmed 
is today.

It looks like you are trying to find a state for bugs that are 
completely documented, but for some reason are not ready for developer 
attention.  What other reason would a developer have for not wanting to 
look at a bug other than it is invalid ( and thus should be rejected ), 
or it needs fixed upstream?  Maybe we just need to bring back the 
upstream state we used to have in bugzilla?
