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 supervisor
Triaged: the bug supervisor 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.
