I suppose this is fine as if the report is indeed a bug , but for a
app/component not supported on KDE it should be marked as
UPSTREAM/DOWNSTREAM.

Some products (such as Amarok) uses a strict policy for reports, and
if the report doesn't have a valid backtrace they close it as INVALID
(until there is a valid and useful backtrace). May be they can use the
REMIND resolution (or a new type of resolution WAITINGFORUSER, or
something like that).

I can't remember if there is any other use for the INVALID resolution.
