GitHub issues have labels. You can add "Resolved", "Won’t Resolve", "Paused" as you like.

Many large repositories use labels to show the state of the issue. You do not need to rely on open or closed.

Of course, but I think there’s a benefit to having these be first class states rather than just labels.
