Howdy all,
Currently, unprivileged users have their bugs set to 'UNCONFIRMED' by default (while privileged users have the option of 'UNCONFIRMED'/'NEW'/'ASSIGNED').
As a general rule, no one seems to care if a bug is confirmed ('NEW') or not. This often leads to confusion for users (for example recently, [1]), who think that because their bug is 'UNCONFIRMED', it won't get attention.
Because this distinction is useless, I'd like to propose that we make a few changes to Bugzilla: * change the default status for newly submitted bugs to 'NEW' (here: https://bugs.winehq.org/editworkflow.cgi) * do a bulk status update of existing bugs from 'UNCONFIRMED' to 'NEW' * disable the 'UNCONFIRMED' status (here: https://bugs.winehq.org/editproducts.cgi?action=edit&product=Wine)
Thoughts/concerns?
