Yes, you can currently only *open* NEW bugs. There could be a way around
this, but it would require changes to the backend (we'd need a way to be
able to force setting states upon bug creation, which would require
a security evaluation of this feature since bugzilla-submit's interface
is a simple CGI post). Anyone have an opinion on this?

Importing bugs this way might be better served by a database import
script.

Take care,
