Okay, I asked this a while ago so I should propably go on
writing it also.
'Duplicate'
The report is either bogus (e.g. empty) or send accidently twice or more.
!!! Reports marked as duplicates are deleted from database from time to time. !!!
'Open'
Bug report is new / nobody is working on it.
'Closed'
Bug is either fixed or there is no bug or user doesn't respond to
feedback requests.
'Assigned'
Someone is working on it (either fixing code or trying to reproduce, etc.)
'Analyzed'
Real Bug (tm) (someone has confirmed that bug actually exists)
'Suspended'
The bug is analyzed and the fix is something that isn't in our hands but
might get fixed eventually (third party software?), or the fix is going to
be in the next _major_ version of PHP or the fix needs something else to
be fixed first.
'Feedback'
Waiting for user feedback (e.g. more info)
'OldFeedback'
After 60 days of 'feedback' status the status is automaticly
changed to this.
And the one status that is missing IMO:
'Similar to'
The report describes the same assumed bug.
This is how I understand those..please comment.
