	It's best that we start by examining the way we work to make the statuses  
work for us.  So, here's some of the common tasks related to project  
management at Drupal.org:

1) Report a bug or request an enhancement
2) Agree that a bug report is valid or that an enhancement is desireable
3) Agree to work on an issue
4) Demonstrate the direction of development to address an issue
5) Upload a patch
6) Review a patch
7) Commit a patch
8) Verify that a patch solved the reported problem or addresed the  
enhancement request

Thus, I propose the following statuses, each aligned to a task above:

1) New
2) Confirmed
3) Assigned
4) Demo
5) Patched
6) Reviewed
7) Committed
8) Verified
