It's not that people *could* set the status wrong, they *do* set the status wrong.
Most commonly, they use "Incomplete" when a change has been published which does not completely resolve the issue.
For example:
"Incomplete" -> "Bug description is incomplete" or "Need more information"
"Invalid" -> "Rejected"
"Confirmed" -> "Independently confirmed"
"Triaged" -> "Assigned"
"In progress" -> "Work in progress" or even "Fixing is in progress"
"Fix Committed" -> "Fix has been checked in"
"Fix Released" -> "Fix has been released"

Either link both instances of "Status" to https:/ /help.launchpad .net/Bugs/ Statuses (or http:// news.launchpad. net/general/ of-bugs- and-statuses or whereever), as era suggested,
or change the display names of the status.
For example:
"Incomplete" -> "Bug description is incomplete" or "Need more information"
"Invalid" -> "Rejected"
"Confirmed" -> "Independently confirmed"
"Triaged" -> "Assigned"
"In progress" -> "Work in progress" or even "Fixing is in progress"
"Fix Committed" -> "Fix has been checked in"
"Fix Released" -> "Fix has been released"
