If we want to add another status for this, we should look for a simpler name.


There are two different cases here, which should probably have different resolutions.

1. The resolver determines that this is not a WebKit issue, and wants to the reporter to file it against the platform. This is generally the most helpful thing to do for Apple platforms, because it creates a line for communication between Apple and the reporter. Migrating it ourselves may feel like it would be best, but in my opinion at least, it's not.

2. The resolver determines that this is not a WebKit issue, and reports it against the platform (or finds an existing platform bug report).
