In our bugzilla there is a setting that looks wrong to me; a user that reports a bug gets the bug state by default set to 'unconfirmed'. Which makes sense and allows developers to use the status for filtering. What makes no sense to me is that when the user has the 'canconfirm' (I think its that one) his new reports automatically get set to 'new'. I guess this makes sense if all people that have that bit are developers, but with the size of KDE I don't think this makes sense anymore. A report I file for rekonq should still be confirmed by an actual developer and as such not bypass the 'unconfirmed' state by default. Please change the bugzilla to never set a bug to 'new' on reporting (enter bug cgi). This would allow app developers to use the 'unconfirmed' status for what its meant to be again :)
