Hi,
So maybe I'm using the wrong terminology. This would be an extra entry into the list that is UNCONFIRMED, NEW, ASSIGNED, REOPENED, RESOLVED, VERIFIED, CLOSED
Rather than a resolution type (which is what I see INCOMPLETE as)

Why do I want it?
* It allows me to ignore bugs which have no STR, or for which we need more info unless someone gets back to us
* It allows me to soft close feature requests from a contributor that we don't have time for, without the brutality of RESOLVED/INCOMPLETE or RESOLVED/WONTFIX.

Joe.
