States
[asac]: still a stub
Introduction
Bug state should only be modified according to this definition.
Usually non-team-members are discouraged to change states on their own without getting in contact with the MozillaTeam first.
In case a user does not know about this document, be nice. For instance, if a MozillaTeam member recognizes that a user did wrongly confirm a bug, point him to this document and fix the state again.

confirmed
