I have to admit that I am kind of a state tracking freak, so, your proposal
is welcomed to keep that tendency at bay.

However, I would add a "category" for bugs/issues and feature requests, in
the subject, else, the bot, the readers and the maintainer will have still
to dig deep into threads to know which one was a feature and which one was
actually a bug report.

There must be also some kind of "protocol" to transition between the
various discussions, like
- from bug to a normal question
- normal question to a feature request

We must avoid that to much bugs ends up as simple discussion, without a
proper sanitation of the thread subject. * I am not sure this is clear even
for me :/*
