Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

The confirmation message that appears when the status of bug is change to NEEDSINFO shows the bug in strikethru font style, making me think i just closed the bug instead!

Just my two cents and experience:

At a first time I used NEEDSINFO inmediatly after asking for more information. (then I should reopen the bug when the reporter replied and so on) "I'm going to start waiting for the information now"

Then I was told that NEEDSINFO should be used after some time with no-feedback from the reporter (I use 1month~) "I have waited for the information some time and I didn't got it. This "NEEDS INFO")

AFAIK, NEEDSINFO is like a half-closed state as it means you can't extract anything useful from it, but the issue may be still valid.

that's because, for all intents and purposes, you did.
Comment 3 Will Stephenson 2009-05-04 18:14:34 UTC 
Ok, then our NEEDSINFO semantics are totally different to bugzilla.novell.com's semantics - where did we get ours from?
Comment 4 Matt Rogers 2009-05-10 04:52:57 UTC 
why would you assume our NEEDSINFO semantics would be the same as the b.n.c NEEDSINFO semantics. They are two different sites after all and NEEDSINFO is not a standard bugzilla resolution. :)

The semantics came from me based on what i wanted when i reported bug #89671. If you have concrete suggestions as to how the semantics have changed, I'll be happy to listen, just open a new wish. :)
