Re: FDO Permissions

What about adding some kind of whiteboard status (I know....more....not
good), that is like "verified and prioritized by a member of QA", then in
the future when we're cleaning the NEW bugs and prioritizing them we know
when an experienced user has already done the triaging (vs. the user just
trying to get us to look at their minor bug faster).

Best Regards,
Joel
