I agree that ideally we would go from RESOLVED - FIXED --> VERIFIED
FIXED -> CLOSED but our team I don't think is quite big enough yet to
accomplish this. My suggestion is we hold off until we have our own bug
tracker and continue to encourage more people to join QA - as it grows
we can tackle these large double checks and closes.

Thoughts?
