[Matthew Paul Thomas <mpt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Explaining the meaning of each bug status is bug 29495. There is
actually a page for this on help.launchpad.net, but it doesn't help much
yet precisely because it's accessible from the "User guide" front page
rather than from the status displays on bug report pages and bug
listings themselves.

The "What is Launchpad?" link is aimed at people who don't use Launchpad
(that's why it appears only when you're logged out), who have arrived at
a random page from a Web search, and who are wondering what this
Launchpad thing is. It's unreasonable to expect that every page in
Launchpad can communicate the purpose of the whole site, so that link is
present instead. But it is reasonable for a page to communicate the
purpose of things on that particular page, which is why pages should
have context-sensitive help.
