We need a resolution for bugs that are orphaned by their reporter. the current
resolutions are
* Fixed
* Duplicate
* Will not Fix
* Invalid Bug
* Fixed Later
* Remind to fix
* Works for me
There are a number of bugs that are marked as resolved because the reporter has
simply abandoned the effort. In some of the cases I think that "Works for me" or
perhaps "invalid" is appropriate. In other cases I have no way of verifying
whether the problem is fixed because I do not have access to the program that
caused the original bug report.
The biggest reason for this is that for proper QA these bugs should be verified
before they are closed but there is no way to verify them. However if we keep
them around then they are just clogging up the works. Having a resolution of
"Orphaned" or "Abandoned" would be a way of tracking these bugs and would be a
valid way of dealing with them for QA.

I suggest to "resolve invalid" and close the bugs if there is no help from the
reporter and we can't research the bug ourselves. It is not worth to spend time
on such bugs. Later, if the reporter decides after some time to help us or new
information appears the bug can be reopened.

I would really prefer to have a resolution that reflects what is going on. I
can't see how it would be that hard to add another resolution.
If that is to much work I would settle for a keyword I suppose.
