-1 for the patch
-1 for the keyword
It should be used a bug state in order to keep the common workflow.
Actually it exists the "UNCONFIRMED" state which is set when a bug is
submitted from a human. "AUTOMATIC_UNVERIFIED_REPORT" could be a new state
(which is not selectable from users). Probably this could allow to fix
statistics easier.

Sincerly I would not spend time on this task now: migrating from bugzilla to
the-super-fantastic-bug-reporting-systemTM which currently nobody knows, seems
not an immediate needing. :-) :-) :-)
