We can perhaps set them to the "needs_info" status, and decide that it 
means

	"No further developer attention worthwhile, until some feedback
	from the reporter (or someone else) received."

Would this help? The "needs_info" state is already there.

I think the ticket submitter (and all commenters) do already get emails 
on comments -- at least I receive them.
