Great :)

Open is the default state on SF, so it can mean that
* Nobody really looked at the ticket
* Someone looked, found it sensible but didn't do anything else

So yeah basically it's what you guessed.

Basically, it means "okay, we confirm/agree this is an issue/feature to
have".

Basically, we're (slowly) moving to GitHub.

Nobody that I know of, so please, go ahead :)

BTW, this is a good example of "open-accepted", Lex just said "you're
right that's a bug we need to fix", but didn't do anything further (yet).
Though, we are pretty bad at managing our bug tracker, so I wouldn't be
surprised there are open tickets that we forgot to close (probably
because we fixed the issue separately), or await for a long time :(

Regards,
Colomban


PS: there's no item 3, is it?
