I like this idea, but prefer NEEDS-INVESTIGATION over NEEDS-TRIAGE as the
latter to me is just the state before bugwranglers assign it.

Using https://bugs.gentoo.org/946338 as an example and following on from
Rich's thinking out loud.
I think the person reporting the bug will be one calling for the
NEEDS-INVESTIGATION
as it will be framed in a I found X odd issue, but it's weird I'm the only
one saying it, type of situation.
This would mean we have the fix ready to go but we know we are waiting for
more information from other users before setting on everyone's system
unnecessary.

This is how I see it as bugwrangler though, but NEEDS-INVESTIGATION before
actioning :)

Kind regards,

immolo
