> you fix bugs, not features.

If a feature is added, the ticket is resolved as FIXED, so it is symmetrical to
marking a denied feature with WONTFIX. You could demand a new resolution for
features, such as IMPLEMENTED, ADDED, or whatever, but any missing feature is
someone else's bug.

We also have WORKSFORME. Any type of closing a bug without a fix looks
judgmental to the reporter, because he _has_ the issue, otherwise he would not
have reported it. I keep most tickets open in the hope that with more eyes we
find someone who understands the issue and can suggest a fix or a workaround,
or can explain what the reporter did wrong.

Looks okey. I also use NEEDSINFO+WAITINGFORINFO, if I am able to instruct the
reporter what information developers could need to understand or further
investigate the issue. If I do not get any reply after some 2+2 weeks, I give
up and also set RESOLVED+INVALID, see e.g. bug 380361.

I have been chasing bugzilla since nearly 9 years, and the only thing that I
would change is merging "UNCONFIRMED" and "CONFIRMED" to a single state "OPEN".
The distiction has cost us many man hours explaining that there is no
difference to most developers.
