That seems to be Andre's interpretation of resolved/wontfix. He changed that
entry in December 2013 (cf.
<https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Bug_management/Bug_report_life_cycle&diff=849087&oldid=848793>)
and then modified it again in February 2014 (cf.
<https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Bug_management/Bug_report_life_cycle&diff=898451&oldid=850032>).

That description is probably wrong. There's certainly more nuance to wontfix
than that, anyway. Resolved/wontfix typically means "we're never, ever going to
do this, so stop asking." It's a means of ending discussion about (or killing)
an idea. That's why it should be used with caution and consideration. It's rare
for anyone to be able to give due consideration if a bug is less than 24 hours
old. And as stated above, Maryana is as much a product owner or product manager
as I am, except I've been around longer. :-)
