I think the one other thing I'd like to handle in this is more
Statuses than just Resolved (especially with lifecycles) but that does
raise the question of whether the name wants to change or not.

If you don't specify default, does it just punt on queues that aren't
specified, or if you only want this behaviour on one queue do you have
to say default => { 'reopen-timelimit' => undef }
