It gets even more confusing....

... even doing this, the outcome is "unsatisfactory" - apparently Jira has
two "classes" of "Unresolved" Resolution - the one where the issue never
was Resolved, and the one which is attained when following my suggested
"hack."
So, if you hit the "My Open Issues"[0] query, you *still* don't get those
issues, and they still show up struck through.

If you use a hand-crafted query[1] you can see, if you add the Resolution
column, that they all show "Unresolved" but the genuine ones have it in
italic, the others in plain text: so I'm assuming Jira behind the scenes
uses a different metadata set than it appears externally.

[0] JQL: `assignee = currentUser() AND resolution = Unresolved ORDER BY
updatedDate DESC`
[1] JQL: `assignee = currentUser() AND status in (Accepted, Reviewable,
Open, "In Progress")`

I'll file a ticket and see what they say, though.

On a side note, is it possible to make the "Shepherd" field mandatory when

I would suggest filing a ticket with INFRA (I don't know and don't have the
necessary perms to try it out, unfortunately); we must be very clear that
this should only apply to a *transition* (and I presume, you meant:
Accepted --> In Progress) otherwise our "backlog grooming" (Open to
Accepted) becomes too laborious.
