Most maintainers seem to ignore the VERIFIED and CLOSED states, so you 
should probably also ignore them :)

When I remember, I ask bug reporters to mark bugs as VERIFIED after I 
resolve them if I actually fixed their problem (and REOPEN them if they 
are broken ...).  In the absense of a QA staff, I find that bug 
reporters can do a pretty good job at checking whether a problem has 
been fixed or not.
