Those are good ideas.  Do you require a comment for your pending status?
Also, where in the status list did you choose to place those statuses?  What
in your mind, is the difference between Defer and Resolved/WONTFIX?  Do you
consider Defer a closed status?  How do you classify your Pending reasons?
Is there a way for you to do it automatically in your reporting right now or
is that a manual process?
