We don't have CONFIRMED or IN_PROGRESS statuses, we have NEW and ASSIGNED.

We don't have VERIFIED, we have CLOSED, but the mention of QA in the
description is misplaced (there is no QA team for GCC).

We also have SUSPENDED and WAITING.

 IMO, Priority and Severity fields also need a better description - at least
 the criteria for Priority and Severity selections, and who can set these
 fields (Release Managers?).

IMHO those fields should not even be shown on the New Bug form. Even if we
document how they should be used we're still going to get users selecting
Blocker because the bug means they can't deliver their work on time.

The ideal might be to only show them (and allow them to be edited on existing
bugs) by people with an @gcc.gnu.org email address.
