Why would that be? Bugzilla comes from Mozilla, originally, not RHEL.
The descriptions you cite come from upstream Bugzilla, I believe, not

We don't want to make extensive customizations to Bugzilla. The
canonical reference for the Fedora bug workflow is
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow .
