What do you think; Quality, BugSquad and BugControl; about this
topic?
Each group uses the status (and other) field(s) for their own use.
Depending on
the bug and where it is send to, one should use the definitions of
the group
responsible. In this case the bugs (apparently) belong to a group
that use
different 'definitions' of the status field, than Bug Squat does.
I have seen information on different uses of the bug fields somewhere
on
wiki.ubuntu.com but I cannot find it anymore..?
Probably you are referring to this?
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Bug%20triage#Special_types_of_bugs
I suppose this needs to be made more clear on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Bug%20statuses maybe with a list of
links to the
other groups and their descriptions/use of the fields.

Maarten
