Hi!
Please explain little more the following:

- often Reopened status is used by the Reporters when bug is marked as
INVALID, DUPLICATE or WFM, how this new policy will work for those? Will you
introduce some Bugzilla checks preventing such transition?

Very often the bug can't be confirmed, some attachments or STRs are missing 
- NEEDINFO was a perfect marking for such bugs after asking for additional
info, also clearing UNCONFIRMED backlog. Now I should mark such bugs as
INVALID? So, no babysitting policy implemented? This is a radical change. 
Do we care about those reports and if yes how to differentiate between real
INVALID requests (like bug clones etc.) and needing info INVALID bugs? By
NEEDINFO keyword?

Thanks in advance for additional info.
Best regards.
