I'd rather we addressed bug 1061 last. If we can implement resolutions
with a fixed $bug_status_map, adding the support to read this map at run
time can be addressed as a separate step.

I would go for a combination of Option 1 and 2. Option 1 first, in the
sense that we just have to write our own code for bug resolution for
versions 2.14.x, 2.16.x, 2.18.x, 2.20.x, 2.22.x. As for 3.0.x, and
onward, I understand an attempt to provide an API was underway by the
Bugzilla folks. If we can use it, great! If not, lets implement our own
code for 3.0.x too, and hopefully can use the API at 3.2.x.

I'd rather we didn't use an asynchronous change mechanism that may fail
without the Scmbug backend knowing it did. This was one of the reasons
Scmbug was designed to have synchronous access to the backend database.
So it can be certain of the state of things.

How do you feel about all this ?
