| *invalid*

|
| *works for me*
|  the reported bug could not be replicated by the developers

This strikes me as a near duuplicate of 'invalid'.  Do we really need this?

| *out of date*
|  the reported bug applies only to versions of Python which are no longer
|  supported, or the bug has already been fixed in all versions where it is
|  possible to fix it (some fixes require new features and hence cannot be
|  backported to maintenance branches)

This is another form of 'invalid' though more different than 'works for 
me'.  But does anyone really care other than this being a holdover from SF?

It seems to me that 'fixed', 'invalid', and 'duplicate' (of valid report) 
seem a good enough resolution of closed bug reports.

Thanks for a definite proposal that we can discuss and pass on to Martin.
