[Reportbug-maint] Bug#763178: reportbug: erroneously shows status pending for other bugs

[jre]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.5.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I filed a bug against wine-development with reportbug. This shows me the
list of current bugs against wine-development. Every bug in this list
has either the status "done" or "pending". The latter is wrong or at
least confusing since it can be misunderstood as tagged "pending", which
none of those actually is. (Some of them are tagged "patch", and others
are completely untagged and have only the submitters mail).

So I don't know what the reason is to show these bugs as "pending".
Maybe they should just be shown as "open" unless they get tagged "pending".

Thanks
jre
