“proposedEasyHack” was confusing at the time whitewords were used as the 
search engine didn't work well with ie. 'proposedEasyHack' and 
'easyhack'. However, now we use keywords and it works differently as the 
number of keywords is fixed and it searches for the entire word.

The point of changing the word to 'needsEasyHackValidation' is to limit 
its use to only easyhacks. 'needsDevEval' is too general and could be 
use in order cases where we don't want contributors to use it.

Same here. According to the wiki, 'needAdvice' is meant to used for 
unconfirmed bugs which need help from a developer in order to get 
confirmed. Thus, using 'needsConfirmationAdvice' we limit its use to 
just that, avoiding contributors to use it somewhere else.
