3.6.3 bugs are wrongly moved to MODIFIED

[Tal Nisan]

It makes life easier for everyone when automation moves the bug to
MODIFIED, if the work is not done then the developer can always move it
back to POST like we sometimes do.
In any way, when a 3.6.3 bug is merged in 3.6.3 it should be moved to
MODIFIED, not a second before
