Ubuntu's Mozilla Team uses "In Progress" to mean Not For Us. Interesting rationale:

<asac> if one can fix firefox bugs et al they go upstream
<asac> so ... "in progress" for us :)
<asac> which means: mozilla team members should regularaly take care that upstream doesn't forget
<asac> but move the bug from confirmed radar
<asac> which means: "This needs work ... and info on what work is needed is available"
...
<mpt> so you'd be able to use "Not For Us" instead of "In Progress" for bugs that you weren't actually ever going to fix yourself
<asac> yeah ... but "not for us" means (as you said about in progress" we don't care
<asac> which is not true
<asac> we want to help users to get a point upstream
<asac> so we should take care that it gets attention ... from time to time
