Affects Status Importance Assigned to Milestone
Launchpad itself
New
Undecided
Unassigned

Bug Description

A number of times, I have hovered my mouse over the "Status" and "Importance" fields displayed at the top of each bug report, vainly hoping that they would magically have mutated into hyperlinks to descriptions of what they mean, or even just have a tooltip or something.

Could "Status" be linked to https://help.launchpad.net/BugStatuses and "Importance" be linked to, I dunno, there ought to be a https://help.launchpad.net/BugImportance I guess?

Or, if the help.launchpad.net links are too specific / generic / odd / even, perhaps make this a configurable part of Malone itself, sort of like it seems that each installation can paste in their own bug reporting guideline (ref: https://help.launchpad.net/BugReportingGuidelines f'rinstance)?

#29495 is only about Status (not Importance) and was closed even though the issue of this particular bug is unresolved. Unless that change is reverted, I would like to redact the duplicate status, and keep this as a genuine, still open, bug.
