Can I change the state of Github Issue? Open > Needs Verification > Closed

It would be really great to have a Github issue be in an intermediary "Resolved" state before I close the issue.

Right now, I have a "Resolved" label and I manually select the issue and change it's label on the web after I commit. Is there a way I can do this from the commit message?

I am sure this is a common problem. How do you guys solve this?

I have never used Github API but can this be done using the API If I were to do this myself?

Since September 14, 2016 you could manage your states with projects. See image below:

Reference and source: GitHub - A whole new GitHub Universe: announcing new tools, forums, and features.

I know it's not like a new state like "needs verification" because you can't like @NevikRehnel said in his answer. But you could make a column named "open", "needs verification" and "closed" and all the issues can you list in correct column.

You can manage this problem using this method : Adding and reassigning github issues via commit message.

A simple ruby script will run on each commit, and check the commit message looking for ~myLabel and =assignedMember to update correctly the issue.

No, Github issues only support two states (open and closed). Any other "states" must be realized via labels, as you are already doing right now. And as of right now, there is no way to apply labels from commit messages.

You can always request such features from Github support of course, and they might be implemented at some point.
