As a point of comparison, here are the GNUnet mantis status codes.
The following status codes are used in Mantis:

* New
     A new bug, developers did not look into these yet.
* Feedback
     Developers require feedback from users reporting the bug to resolve 
it. Also used if a general discussion between the researches is needed 
on how to address a problem.
* Acknowledged
     Developers have seen the bug.
* Confirmed
     Developers are convinced that the bug is a problem that needs to be 
fixed.
* Assigned
     Some developer has started working on the problem. Note that 
developers may give up on problems, putting the bug back to confirmed, 
or feedback.
* Resolved
     The bug has been fixed in some version in Subversion or in a patch 
attached to the bug report.
* Closed
     Resolved bugs are closed after the bugfix has made it into a full 
release of GNUnet.
