Just to clarify before too many bugs are changed: the above is not correct.

See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status
Quote:
"Confirmed:
     * Someone believes that that the report describes a genuine bug in 
enough detail that a developer could start working on a fix
     * Confirmed bugs require confirmation from someone other than the 
original reporter
     * This helps ensure that the bug is applicable to Ubuntu in 
general, and not a problem with the reporter's system, therefore...
     * Please don't confirm your own bugs!"

I believe you are thinking of Triaged, Mackenzie.  From that same page, 
under Triaged: "Use this when you are confident that it should be looked 
at by a developer and has enough information"

Hope that helps clarify everything.

Best,

Greg
