I like this idea, but I think it is orthogonal to the existing bug

I don't know what you would call it, but I imagine a 4-way status switch:
unreproduced
reproduced
possible fix
known fix
Basically I see bug fixing as proceeding sequentially down this list.
There's a state above unreproduced, which is not a bug, and you close
it almost immediately. There's also the state after known fix, which is
implementation, and is reflected by closing it or setting its severity to
fixed.
This is great. The BTS is our institutional memory, and we really need a
mechanism for organizing it. This might do it. It would also make things
easier for people who are trying to help fix bugs--they could filter out
already-fixed bugs more easily and focus their attention on the stuff
that really needs work.
