Edit Product:UNCONFIRMED state as standard begining status of the bugs.
I want to confugure Bugzilla so that when a reporter add a Bug, in the main 
Interface will always showed the status "unconfirmed" .... what have I to do? I 
try to do it but couldn't ... is it a bug or is there a way ?

This is covered in section 4.3.5 in the docs, except that the docs are wrong.

In order to have new bugs show up as UNCONFIRMED, you need to enable voting.  If
you set the "number of votes needed to move a bug out of UNCONFIRMED" to
something higher than 0 then new bugs will be UNCONFIRMED.

it's not so simple ... As reporter I have always a "Enter-Bug-Site" where the 
initial status is on new configured. The reporte have to change this status on 
new... I want that this status appear to the reporter as unconfirmed...  That 
is my problem :-) Thank you :-)

Right. In the latest Bugzilla, this means you just need to change the template 
template/en/default/bug/create/create.html.tmpl

Find these lines:

[% IF bug_status.size > 1 %] 
  <tr>
    [% sel = { description => 'Initial State', name => 'bug_status' } %]
    [% INCLUDE select %]

and change to:

[% IF bug_status.size > 1 %] 
  <tr>
    [% sel = { description => 'Initial State', name => 'bug_status' } %]
    [% default.bug_status = "NEW" %]
    [% INCLUDE select %]

and you're done :-)

clearing target milestone on invalid/duplicate/worksforme/wontfix bugs so
they'll show up as untriaged if they get reopened.
