I updated Bugzilla's workflow earlier today. I added and INCOMPLETE
state and enabled UNCONFIRMED so we now have the following states:
UNCONFIRMED
CONFIRMED
IN_PROGRESS
INCOMPLETE
RESOLVED
VERIFIED
I also renamed the INVALID resolution to NOTABUG, renamed WONTFIX to
NOTOURBUG and disabled MOVED so we now have the following resolutions:
FIXED
NOTABUG
NOTOURBUG
LATER
REMIND
DUPLICATE
WORKSFORME
Fixing fuzz failure reporting required more work than expected but it's
working again as well.
Voting is enabled but for some reason it's not working.
