We have some bugs in this Bugzilla installation that are pretty old and when you load them in a Web browser, Bugzilla shouts "NEW" at you in reference to the bug report. This seems a bit strange. A bug that's several years old isn't new.
Would it make sense to rename the status to "OPEN"? Or "TICKET"? Or "ISSUE"?
Version: wmf-deployment
Severity: normal

This would break any externally saved Bugzilla query URLs (e.g. in browser bookmarks), hence unlikely to happen though I'd like to see it, plus soon to be superseded by Phabricator.
Wikimedia has migrated from Bugzilla to Phabricator. Learn more about it here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/versus_Bugzilla - This task does not make sense anymore in the concept of Phabricator, hence closing as declined.
