Very helpful Marco… I like the idea of tightening our JIRA workflow.

+1 removing “closed"
+1 “reviewable” back to "in progress" — to me this is a very helpful signal for 
longer lasting comment addressing
+1 making sure that “accepted" is the gatekeeper and includes assigning the 
maintainer as a default shepherd — should we even go as far as to prevent  
“assigning” issues that have not gotten “accepted” and “shepherd assigned” ?
+1 removing “reopened" as it has no extra value for us

Resolving without accepting to me sounds like a shortcut that we might want to 
prevent as it could be a bad example?
