Description: So when Bugzilla updated to version 4.0 they changed the existing statuses (states? stati?) to be UNCONFIRMED (new bugs), CONFIRMED (yes, this is a valid bug), IN_PROGRESS (working on it), RESOLVED (same), and VERIFIED (resolution is valid). Mark updated our stuff to match theirs, except that we won't use "verified".

Bug 3816: indicate which support categories are private cats
Category: Site Administration
Patch by:fu
Description: Most support requests are visible to everyone, so everyone can help answer them. For privacy, only Dreamwidth staff and trusted volunteers can see support requests in certain categories, like Account Payments issues or Terms of Service violations. But that wasn't clear to regular users on the support ticket submission page. Now it is, because there are asterisks marking those categories.

Category: Misc Backend
Patch by:fu and kareila and exor674
Description: This was a request for some backend cleanup so that developers working with interests could just look for the interests' unique ID numbers in one place, instead of having to look for it in multiple places. This got fixed a while ago with another bug (possibly Bug 3064 or Bug 1776), and nobody noticed that we could close this ticket until just now.
