I really wonder if RESOLVED vs CLOSED makes any sense to an open source
community.

While this is a sensible division of labor between dev and QA, we don't
have two distinct groups of individuals.

Should we simply dump CLOSED from the the list (or dump RESOLVED) and
answer the question only once when we believe it to be fixed?  It's not
as though the user can't confirm the fix themselves and reopen, when
appropriate.

I don't disagree.

But your answer presupposes there are enough individual with time or the
inclination to move RESOLVED issues to CLOSED status.  10 years of history
and the current open bug list shows that this isn't necessarily the case ;-)

RESOLVED means fixed/wontfix in trunk.  CLOSED means it has either been
released or will never be released.

Or allow status to be moved directly to CLOSED without passing through 
RESOLVED first. I've seen bugzilla scenarios in which tickets have been 
RESOLVED awaiting the owner to CLOSE them, and others where the relevant 
person has CLOSED it because that's what makes sense. I agree with the 
observation, but I think RESOLVED and CLOSED are sometimes useful 
distinctions, so mightn't it be best to let the ticket-editor choose?

Cheers,
Geoff
