This warning is silly: "You have to specify a comment when changing the status of a bug from UNCONFIRMED to NEW." Currently I just use '.' as a comment to get around it. This change usually speaks for itself without needing explanation.
I couldn't find where to change this setting in the admin interface, Andre?
Removed on https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/editworkflow.cgi for UNCONF -> NEW and UNCONF -> ASSIGNED. Wondering whether to enable for {UNCONFIRMED, NEW, ASSIGNED, REOPENED} -> RESOLVED to force people to explain why and how a ticket was resolved, but that's another thought and request.
