MANAGED is interesting because of its flexibility. How it was managed should be accounted for in the commentary. DONE does seem to apply to Tasks and Enhancement requests. DECLINED also seems to apply to both Tasks and Enhancements. It is also a counterpart to ACCEPTED in those cases. At qa@ Pedro Lino made some useful observations about how terms impact reporters and observers of the Bugzilla activity. In respect to that, I have been using WONTFIX as a way to indicate that we have no capacity to do anything about an issue, especially a longstanding one. This is primarily a way of discouraging non-project commenters arguing among themselves and to also indicate that the issue is understood, recognized, and continued lobbying is not useful. I think DECLINED may be useful in some of those cases, but WONTFIX is more truthful when the project doesn't have a way to do anything. NOTFIXING is closer to the reality. (CANTFIX would also indicate that the problem is not with the issue, but with project capability at this time.) The door is not closed completely, but it is not clear when the door will ever be opened. I agree that we do need a diagram and a description of the general application of Bugzilla categories and resolution cases. We might also need to revisit how the search defaults work with respect to the various categories. This seems like a good Wiki [update] effort. We also don't want to split things into so many categories that application and understanding becomes more difficult.
