Comment 8 for bug 243453

William Grant:

This report should be either Confirmed or Invalid, because it definitely fulfills the criteria for Confirmed. As detailed in the Ubuntu wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Triage Successful
"Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!"

And:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugWorkflow
"Confirmed: Contains enough information, presented well enough, for a developer to start fixing the bug."

That, this report definitely does contain - all that is asked for is a newer version. (Even justifications for the version upgrade request are provided, but technically that doesn't make a difference.)

Because of this, I am going to re-confirm this. Please do not revert the status to New, but instead either let it be or reject it properly: "Rejected: Either it is not a bug, or it is a bug that will not be fixed in this particular place."

FYI, the latter document also states the following:
"Current plans are to introduce a "Won't Fix" status, which would mean that the bug is valid but is not going to be fixed in that particular place." Before that, Rejected/Invalid is going to be used instead.
