Bug statuses in Launchpad
Anyone can set the status of a bug in Launchpad, making it easy for them to become involved in your project's bug triage.
Launchpad's bug tracker offers you seven main bug statuses that reflect each stage of a bug's lifecycle, from initial report to resolution.
Optionally, if your project has a high number of bug reports, you may want to add an extra layer of quality control to your bug triage. Two additional bug statuses - Triaged and Won't Fix - are available only to your project's [:Bugs/BugContactRole:bug contact], owners and drivers.
Available to everyone
New
Incomplete: the bug report is incomplete and needs more information before it can be triaged.
Invalid: the report describes the software's normal behaviour, or is unsuitable for any other reason.
Confirmed: a member of the community believes that this report describes a genuine bug in enough detail that a developer could start work on a fix.
In Progress: a developer has taken responsibility to fix the bug and has begun work.
Fix Committed: a developer has committed his/her fix to the project's codebase.
Fix Released: a new version of the software, featuring the bug fix, has been released.
Only available to the bug contact
Triaged: a member of the Bug Contact team considers that the bug report contains all information a developer needs to start work on a fix.
Won't Fix: this is acknowledged as a genuine bug but the project has no plans to fix it.

Translating the status of external bug watches
We've seen that Launchpad can monitor the status of bugs in external trackers.
Different bug trackers use different names for roughly the same statuses. It could quickly become confusing to use two different sets of bug statuses on the same page. Instead, Launchpad translates the status of external bug reports into one of its native statuses.
Here you can see how Launchpad translates those external statuses.

Some projects use custom Bugzilla status messages. Soon, we will add tables to show how those statuses are translated by Launchpad.
