[swift-lldb-dev] [swift-build-dev] JIRA workflow: "Resolved" -> "Verify"?

[Jordan Rose]

It hasn’t been used so much so far, but on the bugs where it has I like being able to tell the difference. I don’t think we’d poke people about verification like we do with Radar, though, so we will (and have) end up with a lot of bugs left in Resolved/Verify.

Therefore, I suggest changing the “Resolved” status to “Verify” (like we use in Radar) and the “Resolve Issue” button to “Mark Resolved”.
