Obviously, some seem to imply the later meaning into ""Accepted"" which could raise the question regarding whether it is named correctly (I say it is fine). But, more importantly, is there a place were each status is simply defined? Sure there is this: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/#ticket-triage But that hardly makes clear exactly what ""accepted"" actually means. The text in that section is helpful to understanding the basic process, but if someone changes the status of my ticket, there's no definitive place to go and see exactly what that status means. In fact, in reading the list over the last few years, I have the impression that this is a problem that is repeated constantly. People don't understand what the various statuses mean and get frustrated when things do not happen as they expected. I think perhaps clearer documentation would help in this case.
