Captured from the bug reporter, or something else?

I question whether any bug status will ever be self-explanatory. The
fact that they need to be short means that there will always be some
ambiguity in them, and the best we can do is document, teach and guide
people into doing the right thing.

I have been toying for a long time with the idea that a status dropdown
is actually not the best way to guide people to using statuses properly.
I just haven't summoned up the guts to try and push this through while
getting flamed to death <wink>.
