FWIW, I found debbugs-org to be a bit buggy after I entered control
messages for what I thought was the bug under the cursor only to find it
sent control messages to a completely different bug.  I'll... uh... file a
bug on it or perhaps just fix it once I can reproduce it again.

Pretty sure it must go, in order of decreasing severity: serious,
important, normal.  Serious probably is reserved for things like emacs
crashing bugs, security vulnerabilities and the like.  I don't know whether
there is a rule about this, but I'd guess that new emacs versions shouldn't
be released if any serious bugs are opened against it.  Important is a bit
unknown to me, I'm guessing just a bit scarier than the "normal" bugs.

Great questions, and once someone sheds light on the things like invalid
and pending (I have no clue, personally), I'll write up the info in the
bug-triage file.
