As a user, it sucks being told "your bug is invalid" when it, in fact, is not.
Especially when it's serious stuff eg Xorg crashes, black screens, or even
reboots.

Upstream at least means "We're taking care of it" somehow.

Mark a bug as invalid out of the blue and the reporter will likely get
offended. I know you don't care but that means they won't file squat; which
means either the bug won't get fixed (bad on *all* the users), or the bugzilla
janitors have to take care of that.
Turns out, if you're nice with them, they *will* follow the bug through and do
whatever you ask them in order to get it fixed. Now I may just be a wine
bugzilla janitor, but I still want to see non-wine bugs triggered by wine
fixed.

And no, it's not a maintenance burden. I already make sure users report bugs
upstream and add it to the See Also URL. Resolving it UPSTREAM is just hitting
a different option on the dropdown.


I propose RESOLVED UPSTREAM once the bug is filed, and CLOSED UPSTREAM once
it's closed upstream for whatever reason. Thoughts?
