That doesn't work either, though, for the same objection - it's not
'confirmed', it's triaged. We don't require reproduction as part of the
triage process.

I think the only sensible way to rename the states would be NEW and
TRIAGED, but I'd rather have a keyword for Triaged than have it be a
state, personally.

Yep, me too.
