Description
Would it be possible to add a 3rd state for threads, which can mark that a question was not "solved" as such but is "not applicable"? Not all thread questions can be stated as "solved" but instead may not have an answer, but were already handled.
This request on its own might be out of scope for this plugin and maybe just a somewhat wrong way we use it.
If this is something which might be considered, I am happy to dig into the code and see how it can be done.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First map how thread states are represented and clarify the intended semantics of an additional state; done means threads can be marked as handled without being marked solved, with that state displayed consistently.
