Which specific bugtracker are you talking about? bugs.python.org has only three status fields (Open, Closed, Pending); they do have explanations.

Need to rephrase this. In bug edit form Status field should have accessible explanation for users.

Please elaborate: possible for whom?

It should be possible to provide descriptions for Status fields directly in edit form, like a popup hint on hovering mouse. http://www.nabble.com/Meaning-of-status-abbreviations-need-eg,-done-cbb- td2537614.html
