Bug Description

"Fix committed" bugs are treated as "resolved" in some places (for example: the default bug listing). This is wrong, since those bugs still require human interaction (an upload) before one can really forget about them.

Same problem with "Fix released" when the package comes from a Debian package. For example, this bug:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/6525

It is treated as resolved because its status is "Fix released". Indeed this package is released in Debian, but it is not yet uploaded in Ubuntu (pending).

Do we need another status "Uploaded"?

The meaning of the field status is not correctly explained, see

No. Malone tracks the status of the bug in each distribution and/or
package. If a bug is fixed in Debian, but still open in Ubuntu, then
it'll continue to show as open in Ubuntu reports.
