IN_PROGRESS essentially means it is or has been looked after already.
Adding the InVCS keyword further indicates the fix is applied somewhere
already.

So, a suggested workflow is:

1) check a bug, 
    a) if you can reproduce, then mark it as CONFIRMED
    b) not enough info, can't reproduce,... mark or comment it
       accordingly.
2) start working on a solution,
   a) if you have significant progress, but need more time, mark it
      accordingly, assign it to yourself, leave a comment, etc.  
   b) If you have a patch but need
      it tested before committing, upload it there with the request.
   c) Optionally mark it as IN_PRROGRESS for a & b above when 
      appropriate.
3) commit the fix.  Mark it as InVCS, if not already, set status to
   IN_PROGRESS
4) make a release with the patch/fix. Mark the bug RESOLVED, FIXED.
