--- Comment #3 from Christoph Feck <cf...@kde.org> ---
> I'm marking this as RESOLVED INVALID, which just means that it's not our bug.

We have UPSTREAM and DOWNSTREAM to indicate that it is not our bug. Do you know
of tickets that we need to correct?

> WONTFIX implies that we know it's a bug, but are [...] refusing to fix it

WONTFIX should not be used for bugs. The exception is when WONTFIX is used as
in CANNOTFIX (because of requirements or limitations of the underlying
components), such as X11 requiring grabs for popups, etc. If a developer is not
able to fix a bug, the ticket must remain open. Again, do you know of tickets
where a developer used this resolution incorrectly?

For feature request, a developer may decide that the feature should never be
added and use the WONTFIX solution. The alternative to marking feature requests
as WONTFIX is keeping them open. This is the norm, because a future developer
might have a different opinion than the developer who first decided this. If,
however, multiple developers raised valid points against a feature, it makes
sense to close as WONTFIX. If it was a useful idea, it will be suggested again
years later anyway, so a different batch of developers can decide anew.

> I'd also like a TRIAGED_COULD_NOT_CONFIRM

We have keywords, such as "triaged", "investigated", "reproducible",
"needs_testcase" and "needs_verification".
