An issue that belongs to the Assignee to resolve. The Assignee may fix the issue, or bounce the issue back to the person who reported it by marking it "Resolved" (see below).
In Progress
How a developer signals to everyone that they're working on the issue.
Reopened
Same as "Open". Even though it was closed before, it's now reported as a problem that still needs attention.
Resolved
An implicit assignment back to the reporter of the issue. It's not closed yet, but rather in a state of limbo that depends on the resolution. It's up to the Reporter to decide whether to reopen an issue, or close it.
