Ben,<br><br>This is actually a workflow we use at work for triaging our bugs and all we did was add permissions to status changes so that only particular users could change a state from "unco" to "ready". I'm not sure of the bug number bug we find this really useful.<br>
<br>Also I've discussed with a few people that Bugzilla needs a better "triaging ui". I haven't thought through the whole problem quite yet, and there have been a few pencil sketches which no one has been super happy with. But I'm not sure if tagging solves the triaging problem<br>

IMO, an additional bug status doesn't fix anything. You move the problem<br>
from UNCO/NEW to NEW/READY.<br>

<br>
Except that you can't file bugs as READY.<br>
<br>
And there is a distinction between "yes, this is definitely a problem"<br>
(-> NEW) and "this bug report is ready to be fixed" (-> READY).<br>

This gets into b.m.o-specific workflow, but neither of those states represents what I'm really interested in as module owner. What I want to know is "have I or my peers looked at this bug, assigned it a priority/owner, and commented setting expectations"? There are many bugs which have good testcases and are "ready to be fixed" which I have not prioritized... in fact many of the bugs filed in the XPCOM component *come with patches*, and I still would like to triage them.<br>
