[#481] - Rename "open" status to "new"

Based on some discussion in JCMS email list: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/joomla-dev-cms/tGmnQGqNu0Y/MoYNMUWzQ28J
The status "Open" conflicts with the GitHub status which is also called "Open" and contains all open issues/PRs, while our "Open" would actually only mean "not yet confirmed issues".
That leads to some confusion in the UI of JIssues.
The proposed solution would be to rename our status to "New" which would indicate that it's a new issue which needs to be confirmed first.

I assume that this mean a jissues bot to set the status to new on all new issues which dont have a status already set
I think we just change Open to New in our status table and we're good to go. That row is already the default value for opened items.
Unrelated but it just dawned on me, merged PRs shouldn't always get set to Closed.
| Status | New | ⇒ | Closed |
| Closed_Date | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | ⇒ | 2014-09-08 19:22:43 |
Doesn't the close state also conflicts with GitHub's "close"?
When a closed issue is re opened from GitHub - to which state do we set in in our application?
Not sure what the problem is that you are trying to solve. I didn't follow the G-Groups discussion but from reading it it seems that there was a confusion because of the filter that was not working properly.
Would renaming open to new solve some (human) problem?

Exactly ;)
Yes it will make the thing work.

Only if we have multiple states for closed ones. Like "merged", "not a bug" and similar. I don't think we have those at the moment.
They're all in there, just unused by the automated stuff.

Crazy, didn't know the status filter actually changes based on the "Open/Close" toggle! Awesome stuff 
If you feel that "Closed" status also should be renamed - do not hesitate to open a new issue
