Mark and I just discussed this, and he's going to look into having a "CONFIRMED" state. The flow would be:
"NEW"->"CONFIRMED"
...rather than: "UNCONFIRMED"->"NEW"
That would also mean that all of the currently "NEW" bugs are presumed to be unconfirmed rather than confirmed, and that we can have a relatively clean list of bugs that someone explicitly declared to be confirmed.

I set up Bugzilla today so that, by default, bugs would be in the "UNCONFIRMED" state.
Next week, I plan to begin recruiting volunteers for the "Bug Squad", who will help me to verify bugs by testing them against the Beta cluster. The plan is that the Bug Squad will be able to verify these bugs and change them to the "NEW" state.
The Bug Squad idea comes from KDE's Bug Squad (http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Bugsquad) and I've begun talking with them.
If you have an interest in helping out with or participating in the Bug Squad, please contact me.
