It has been 13 years since this was discussed. That suggests people have managed with the existing statuses, whether we all like them or not.
Related to this is an issue collecting all the issues about issue management, 🌱 [meta] Improve issue management Active . There is also the Bug Smash Initiative that has done much to triage and close duplicates and outdated issues. And the Needs Review Initiative is also keeping the number of issues at needs review in a more manageable state. And the total number of issues is being reduce by the identifying stale and very old issues and requesting confirmation that they are still a problem.
There is also work being done to add active subsystem and topic maintainers and remove inactive ones.
All these steps help to improve the issue throughput with, to me, is the goal.
Therefore, closing this as outdated.
