I personally use NEEDINFO for bugs that aren't necessarily useless,
but that I don't want to continually look at because I know I'm
waiting for more info.  For example, I may be waiting for a user to
test a fix, but I don't want to mark the bug as CLOSED or FIXED until
I get the verification.  Yet I don't want to keep it as NEW or
ASSIGNED, either, because I really am waiting for information from the
user.

I /do/ agree that putting a bug into NEEDINFO is an implicit contract
to watch the bug for changes and make sure it gets re-opened or closed
when more info arrives.  But I don't want to make NEEDINFO
/necessarily/ imply "this bug can be closed if we get no response from
the user".
