Description

Bugzilla offers a resolution value "INVALID", as documented there.
This makes no sense:
1. An invalid issue cannot be resolved.
2. This pseudo-resolution is described as "The problem described is not a proper bug report.". First, tickets are not all bug reports (example). Second, a problem is of course not expected to be a bug report.

This should be replaced with a proper way of marking invalid reports (which could be described as "The ticket does not report a valid problem.").

By the way, that whole documentation page badly needs revision.

This report (including all messages and attachments I add to it) is offered under the terms of CC0 1.0.
