Yeah, this is confusing as heck, and to make it worse, every Debian
maintainer has their own system. We don't have standardized detailed tag
meanings.
Personally (and this is also the pattern followed by Lintian and Policy
maintainers), I tag bugs wontfix but don't close them while I'm still open
to further discussion to change my mind. Then, I frequently forget to
remove the wontfix tag even after I've changed my mind. :/
Closed is another matter entirely -- that means I'm pretty sure the bug
report should just go away.
