Isn't this just the "new" state?  Once it has been looked at by
someone, it should then be assigned (as appropriate) and changed to
"assigned" or "needinfo".

We currently have too many bugs that are just left at "new" (some in
the old system were 3-4 years old!).  I think they should be moved to
a working status as soon as possible and yes, I know, I'm at least
as guilty as anyone else in this regard.
