Hi Jay,

I did some tweaking of the config in Bugzilla 4.4.6 to make sure that
bugs would default to UNCONFIRMED when filed, and the simplest method
was to make UNCONFIRMED the only choice for a newly-created bug. You
can always create the bug, then change status to NEW afterwards. Or do
a bulk-change, if you're filing a bunch of reports at once.

>From my understanding, the difference I saw on the backend is related
to changing bug workflows that have been introduced to Bugzilla in
modern versions. We can try to bring back the ability to set bugs to
NEW during filing, but I think it's worth our time to also take a look
at the suggested workflow in Bugzilla, and see if we might wish to
adopt it.

Best,
--R
