Completely triaged in the sense of someone having weeded out all duplicates, 
requested and received all necessary additional information [1] and ideally 
confirmed to happen in a current built-from-source installation similar to what 
a developer will use when trying to fix it.

Being the oldest report for a given product qualifies as an indicator of when a 
problem occured first, but just its age does not imply that any of these other 
criteria have been met.

Cheers,

[1] and ideally unrelated information removed, some reports accumulate a lot 
of noise over time. Especially when being linked to from forums and people 
adding their "me too", even if their problem is actually different.
