If you even have to ask--and, rest assured, I can understand how
these statuses might be interpreted differently by different people--
then the answer almost doesn't even matter. :) If the UI makes it
less than completely clear, then it's nearly guaranteed that many
people won't Do The Right Thing anyway.

You probably shouldn't confirm your own bug unless you're a developer
on the thing you're reporting, or otherwise experienced enough to be
sure your bug indeed exists, is filed on the correct package, and is
explained clearly enough that a developer can jump in and fix it.

Cheers,
