+1 here, too. UNCONFIRMED should be the default for new bugs, because |
| 37 |
sometimes, issues can get reported that are really obscure and, for example, |
| 38 |
tied to a particular hardware configuration, thus cannot be easily and |
| 39 |
independently confirmed. It'd be nice if, when replying in a comment, a flag |
| 40 |
could be made available to automatically to state that "I've encountered this |
| 41 |
issue, too", and once 2, 3, or 4 of those are logged, Bugzilla automatically |
| 42 |
changes the state to CONFIRMED, but doesn't bugspam on this specific state change. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Also, +1 to changing UNRESOLVED to OPEN. |
| 45 |

Don't suppose we can get a RESOLVED::RTFM, can we? :) |
