See

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/page.cgi?id=fields.html#status

for an explanation of Bugzilla's recommend use of the status field.
In principle, once a bug has been marked as resolved (i.e., that a fix
has been pushed to the master or appropriate maintenance branch in the
public repository), the next step would be for somebody such as the
original submitter or a QA volunteer to verify the fix and mark the
bug either verified or reopened.  A bug wouldn't be marked closed
until the fix was available in a packaged release.

This is a good idea, actually, but for it to work, there would need to
be more people actively wrangling bugs than seem to be available at
the moment.  So in practice, a RESOLVED FIXED should be considered
equivalent to a VERIFIED/CLOSED FIXED, but if anybody wants to take
the additional step of verifying bugfixes and marking them as closed
after a release, doing so would be a goodness.

Regards,

Galen
