There are a couple of fairly old bugs (2001) for Bugzilla on http:// bugzilla.mozilla.org/ for creating custom resolutions and custom statuses: Customized resolutions. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94534 Customized statuses and workflow https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101179 Looks like there has been some recent activity on both of them.

After a bit of experimentation with the latest (2.20) release of Bugzilla, I've discovered that adding/removing/modifying the list of resolutions in Bugzilla is, apparently, non-trivial. The all- caps identifiers (e.g. 'FIXED', 'WONTFIX', 'WORKSFORME', etc.) are hard-coded into several places in the tree, as well as (for some reason, most likely ordering and enablement) in the database table 'resolution'. Adding them to the database merely results in a blank string in the Bugzilla interface.
It looks like adding different resolutions might not be the best solution. The change would be relatively easy for anyone who knows Perl well enough, but it would be non-trivial, and would affect the entire OpenDarwin project, so a unilateral solution might not be the best. Any other ideas?

Hi all,
today, while talking on #webkit, i got two questions which both should be answered in the bug life cycle document on the WebKit page as well, in my humble opinion. To be able to do that, i'd like to get some consensus on them.
The first one, brought up by Alexey Proskuryakov (ap), is this: when a bug can't be reproduced anymore but has been confirmed at one point in time, what to do with it? My answer for this would be to close it as "WORKSFORME" and not as "FIXED", since you don't know what fixed it. Ideally we would create a new resolution for this, something like "FIXED WITHOUT SOLUTION" or something like that, have you people perhaps got any thoughts on this?
How about "PRESUMED FIXED". I also wish we could get the ALLCAPSSINGLEWORD style out of the resolutions. Not sure how hard this is to do without hacking the database. Something that is believed fixed by an unknown change is indeed different than something that couldn't be reproduced at all, although "WORKSFORME" arguably could cover both bases. "PRESUMED FIXED" would indicate to the verifier that they must verify with a more recent version, and would indicate to integrators that if they want to ship the fix on a branch version, they have to hunt for it.
This is fine by me, getting rid of the all caps would be great, but i don't know if we break any external apps by doing that?
