Yeah, I think the linked diagram really reflects the reality, much
better than the "official" one. I'm in favor of removing the "Verified"
resolution to clean things up.

I haven't seen a project where the "Verified" status would be useful.
Generally the reporters re-open their bugs if they are not satisfied.

Also, for many classes of bugs verification gives absolutely no
benefits, e.g. keywording, stabilization, etc.

If we want to keep "Verified", then in my opinion some group should be
created to verify bugs consistently. If it's just one user doing it, I
see no benefits, and only background noise.

Note: maybe that user would like to help in the bugzilla in a way we'd
all agree to be useful. For example wrangling bugs (assigning to right
owners, getting more info, etc). Please make sure not to discourage him
from contributing more by too harsh comments.
