OpenJDK bug database: DRAFT Developer Workflow

Well, as long as we still have the "Integrated in Build" field and it 
can be used to locate the exact release/build, the "Fix Delivered" state 
is not necessary.

BTW, I always find the "Fixed in Build" field useless. I would rather 
like it to be something equivalent to the changeset id.
