#202: add 'state' and 'votes' fields to bug report form
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  slyfox  |       Owner:       
     Type:  defect  |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  major   |   Milestone:  4.7  
Component:  locale  |     Version:  4.6.1
 Keywords:          |    Blocking:       
Blockedby:          |

 State:

 Bugtrackers usually have separate combobox field to assign bug status
 (from what i see keywords field is used currently for this fragile
 semantic :]).

 I, pesonally, thought 'keyworgs' field is a tag field to extend
 'component' for search engine, but not a state of bug and I tried to fill
 them in :]

 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2038 - keywords are used as
 tags. Very helpful when try to search existing bug or group interesting
 bugs (there's yet more fields to consired for inclusion).

 http://bugs.xmms2.xmms.se/my_view_page.php - one of state tracking bug
 trackers out of the box.

 Mantis states are (states are added/modifiable in SQL table, not very
 hard):
  * new
  * feedback
  * acknowledged
  * confirmed
  * assigned
  * resolved
  * closed

 Those states reflect policy of closed-source companies :]
 We can talk about our states a little more here and add our states.

 From what i observe we need at least following states:
 * new
 * confirmed (we know the but/feature, but no solution)
 * yet-patch
 * rework-patch
 * resolved/committed
 * closed
 * what-i've-forgot

 Votes:
 Votes can be kept in (newly created) separate field: (like assign to)
 'votes',
 where devels and reporters, who tested patches can leave their names.

 Thanks!
