What do you mean by closing comment? In any case, I have seen that status used 
on mere RFE-s (not bugs), so if that's the intended usage, there should 
probably be a note about the real-world usage too. I don't see how a developer 
could predict with certitude that a certain issue will not be fixed though.

I probably agree that "Critical" should not be a status; I filed ticket #77528 
to clarify that status.

See the list of statuses also here:
https://bugs.php.net/search.php
I guess, it's pretty synced actually, yes. So, except that there are 0 critical 
bugs, and that the "old feedback" doesn't work like this anymore, because the 
cron job is too fast for it.

I do not really understand this request.  “Wont fix” means “won't
fix”, and that means that the PHP developers won't fix an issue
(even though it is acknowlegded as such), for reasons to be stated
in the closing comment.

I think bugtracker related topics should go to the php-webmaster@
mailing list.

Hello, thanks for reporting all these issues. Bugs app is indeed in need of 
refreshments like these also. Bug statuses need to be synced and sorted out to 
have more logical workflows.

Having bug statuses that no one knows what they represent anymore is not much 
helpful. I suggest that we bring this one to the mailing list also (which one, 
I have no idea yet), so that bugs everyday users recheck all statuses again. 
There are more statuses here in need of syncing between the edit buttons and 
the search page:
https://bugs.php.net/stats.php?bug_type=Bug
...

some statuses are also probably not needed anymore and are left from the past...

Description:
------------
Some tickets have status "Wont fix". For example: 
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33449

Please add a definition of that status, at least in 
https://bugs.php.net/search-howto.php
