18 IN_PROGRESS essentially means it is or has been looked after already.
19 Adding the InVCS keyword further indicates the fix is applied somewhere
20 already.
21
22 So, a suggested workflow is:
23
24 1) check a bug,
25 a) if you can reproduce, then mark it as CONFIRMED
26 b) not enough info, can't reproduce,... mark or comment it
27 accordingly.
28 2) start working on a solution,
29 a) if you have significant progress, but need more time, mark it
30 accordingly, assign it to yourself, leave a comment, etc.
31 b) If you have a patch but need
32 it tested before committing, upload it there with the request.
33 c) Optionally mark it as IN_PRROGRESS for a & b above when
34 appropriate.
35 3) commit the fix. Mark it as InVCS, if not already, set status to
36 IN_PROGRESS
37 4) make a release with the patch/fix. Mark the bug RESOLVED, FIXED.
