I have no reservations about using the whiteboard, but rather the bug status
PLEASETEST (instead of INVALID). that bug state is not documented in:

 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html

and I personally would assume it to mean a state after RESOLVED/FIXED and
before VERIFIED, meaning "I think I fixed this issue, but need someone to test
the solution."

Strangely, although the state exists in bugs.fdo neither us, nor any other
project has any bug in that state.

So I would avoid using this state, as is confusing in itself and would need
explaination.

Best,
