The problem with the idea of a suggest-whatever resolution and the
ticket closing has to do with how trac works. When a ticket is closed,
changing it to another resolution means reopening it and then
resolving it with the new resolution. Two steps, basically. This
rapidly becomes annoying.

Now, the TracWorkflow *is* adjustable, but I don't know much about how
to do it at present. Here's a page on the topic:
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracWorkflow

For those who don't want to read through it all, this graphic
illustrates the default workflow:

The wiki page has several examples of how we can modify it to have
"review" states or similar. We can try to implement some of those if
it would be helpful to the process.
