TESTREQ was incidentally my first thought. Only needs me to study how much that's already used
and whether or not existing bugs with that flag meet that description or not.


However, a distinction between IN_PROGRESS and RESO/TESTREQ is not possible here,
because "in git" means "You'll get it if you sync >1h from now"

IN_PROGRESS can thus only mean something about it being worked on but not yet pushed
to the main git repo. (ie: overlays, private repos)

But I would rather it part of the primary resolution path, not a mere property of the resolution type.

Because its easier to say:

UNCONFIRMED -> CONFIRMED -> INPROGRESS -> INVCS -> STABLE

Than

UNCONFIRMED -> CONFIRMED -> INPROGRESS -> (RESOLVED/TESTREQ) -> (RESOLVED/FIXED)
