In http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ the RESOLVED FIXED status+resolution is
used to indicate something that is fixed-in-CVS. The same is used for
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/. The Python bugtracker (in sf.net) uses Fixed
to mean essentially the same thing.

Bugzilla's "normal" model is to use the VERIFIED and CLOSED statuses to
indicate what happens post-RCS-landing -- in
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ we use VERIFIED when someone tests a CVS
build and agrees that it is fixed, and CLOSED is when there is a version
released that includes that fix.

We're proposing using a simplified form of the Bugzilla model (omitting
a "Verified" status).
