Tomorrow (2007-06-20) the Launchpad team will update the bug tracker with a new set of bug states to help projects like Ubuntu improve bug management. The changes will allow for greater fine tuning of our bug management and the new labels should hopefully also make more sense to users.
The following statuses will be added: * Triaged * Won't Fix * Todo The following statuses will be renamed: * Unconfirmed -> New * Needs Info -> Incomplete * Rejected -> Invalid The reasons for the new states are roughly: * Triaged will mean that a bug has all the information attached to it that a developer needs to fix it. The 'confirmed' state was previously used for this purpose, but many users were 'confirming' bugs when observed by a second person. * Rejected has been split into Invalid and Won't Fix, where the latter may be a valid bug or wish-list change that we don't have the wish or resources to fix. * Todo will form the list of bugs that developers expect to work on in the near future. These would typically also be assigned to a developer or a dev team. The renaming of some existing states is intended to make them more intuitive to a larger audience. Search URLs containing the old status names will be permanently redirected to equivalent URLs containing the new status names. For example, &status=Unconfirmed will be changed to &status=New.
