+Each $gBug can have zero or more of a set of given tags. These tags are

Tags can be set by supplying a Tags

+patch
+ A patch or some other easy procedure for fixing the $gBug is included in
+ the $gBug logs. If there\'s a patch, but it doesn\'t resolve the $gBug
+ adequately or causes some other problems, this tag should not be used.
+
+wontfix
+ This $gBug won\'t be fixed. Possibly because this is a choice between two
+ arbitrary ways of doing things and the maintainer and submitter prefer
+ different ways of doing things, possibly because changing the behaviour
+ will cause other, worse, problems for others, or possibly for other
+ reasons.
+
+moreinfo
+ This $gBug can\'t be addressed until more information is provided by the
+ submitter. The $gBug will be closed if the submitter doesn\'t provide ore
+ information in a reasonable (few months) timeframe. This is for $gBugs like
+ \"It doesn\'t work\". What doesn\'t work?
+
+unreproducible
+ This $gBug can\'t be reproduced on the maintainer\'s system. Assistance
+ from third parties is needed in diagnosing the cause of the problem.
+
+fixed
+ This $gBug is fixed or worked around, but there\'s still an issue that
+ needs to be resolved. (This will eventually replace the \"fixed\" severity)
+
+stable
+ This $gBug affects the stable distribution in particular. This is only
+ intended to be used for ease in identifying release critical $gBugs that
+ affect the stable distribution. It\'ll be replaced eventually with
+ something a little more flexible, probably.
