So... this conflicts with the RHEL workflow, in that NEW is used
for 'no one is looking at this', and ASSIGNED means 'someone is
on the hook for that'. I'd prefer something like:

  UNCONFIRMED -> NEW -> ASSIGNED
  
rather than:

 NEW -> ASSIGNED -> ON_DEV

If no one is currently looking at it, I think 'NEW' conveys that
better to the user than 'ASSIGNED'.
