>From the Contributors' Guide:

Open issues:

New: the item was added by a non-member, despite numerous warnings not
to do this. Should be reviewed by a member of the Bug Squad.
Accepted: the Bug Squad added it, or reviewed the item.
Started: a contributor is working on a fix. Owner should change to be
this contributor.

Closed issues:

Invalid: issue should not have been added in the current state.
Duplicate: issue already exists in the tracker.
Fixed: a contributor claims to have fixed the bug. The Bug Squad
should check the fix with the next official binary release (not by
compiling the source from git). Owner should be set to that
contributor.
Verified: Bug Squad has confirmed that the issue is closed. This means
that nobody should ever need look at the report again – if there is
any information in the issue that should be kept, open a new issue for
that info.

HTH,

Carl
