AWAITING_INFO or PENDING_INFO.  When a bug is in any "closed" state,
and someone supplies more info, it is their responsibility to set the
state back to "REOPENED" so that the issue is reactivated as an open
issue however.  Then it should get added to queues as appropriate,
depending on how each team handles bugs, as this is still a team
specific handling issue, and in most cases, an individual developer
bug handling issue.

Ultimately, both users and developers would benefit more from global
bug handling methodology consistency, but that's a long way off IMHO.
