What about NEW and CONFIRMED statuses? Those are more positive than
UNCONFIRMED. So all NEW bugs would first be transformed as CONFIRMED,
and then UNCONFIRMED -> NEw (not in the reverse order of course).

Or is it possible to search bugs that haven't been touched by any
developer of that product? Because the idea with NEW/CONFIRMED is to be
able to search bugs or feature requests that are "approved" by at least
one maintainer of the product. If a bug hasn't been touched by a
maintainer, it's probably an untriaged bug.

Or do you have other solutions to filter out untriaged bugs when doing a
search?
