Request for description of reward labels

Reported by e.verdie...@gmail.com, Nov 3 2016

Issue description

What do you want?
A desctiption of the reward labels. 

Why do you want it?
I am a master student at the Delft University of Technology and for one of my cybersecurity courses I am using this data set to study the effect of rewards on reporting of security issues. I found several reward labels that I am trying to caterorize:

Reward-#
reward-inprocess
reward-decline
reward-NA
reward-0
reward-ineligible
reward-unpaid
reward-topanel

Some ar obvious, but others not. For example: 
- does Reward-0 mean that a reward of 0 dollars was given or no reward at all
- Same for reward-unpaid.

Many thanks for you help!

Hello!

Thanks for the question.  Here's a rundown.

reward-#
  The VRP Panel has awarded this amount for the bug.  Though unusual there might be more than one of these if there was an additional reward for the same bug - the final amount is the sum of the values.

reward-inprocess
  The reward has been sent to our finance team for processing.

reward-decline
  The reporter requested the amount be donated to charity, or went unclaimed for 12 months.

reward-NA
reward-0
reward-ineligible
  These are very similar and occasionally used interchangeably.  Generally, reward-ineligible and reward-NA means that there's some reason we shouldn't even consider the bug for reward, e.g. it was reported by a Google employee.  reward-0 generally means the bug went to the panel but they declined to reward for some reason.  We should get better at making this distinction, and one shouldn't draw too many conclusions about existing bugs by only looking at which of these three labels they have.

reward-unpaid
  Should only be present on bugs that also have a reward-# label.  Means that a bug has been granted a reward by the panel, but it hasn't been sent to our finance team yet.

reward-topanel
  Bugs the panel should look at.  Usually those meeting the criteria on g.co/ChromeBugRewards, but could be re-applied to bugs where the circumstances have changed after they've already been to a panel.

Cheers,

Andrew
