I was just looking at the Jira workflow for Infinispan and noticed that
all issues start off in the "Open" state and assigned to the default
owner for the component. Unfortunately this does not mean that the
actual "assignee" has taken ownership, or that he intends to work on it
in the near future, or that he has even looked at it. I would therefore
like to introduce a state for fresh issues which is just before "Open".
This can be "New" or "Unverified/Untriaged" and will make it easier to
find all those "lurker" issues which are lost in the noise.
What do you think ?
