Hello, everyone.

Here's my second RFC wrt bugs.gentoo.org redesign.

Right now we have separate UNCONFIRMED and CONFIRMED states for bugs.
However, we use the two scarcely. I believe it would be beneficial to
replace the two with a single NEW state.

Rationale:

1. Most of developers don't care about the two states, and which one
bugs are in.

2. All bugs need to be handled the same, whether they were marked as
confirmed or not.

3. We stage bugs through bug-wranglers@ which kinda has a similar
purpose to the UNCONFIRMED state in other Bugzillas.

4. Some people who actually care about the two states change them,
causing unnecessary bugspam.

5. Some users who think that the state matters get furious about bugs
staying in UNCONFIRMED for long.

Your thoughts?
