There's also "Pending".
Hi Ken,
Yes, I know about the 'Pending' status. The patches page describes this status in two ways:
1. The patch is not obviously correct at first glance. Making a more convincing argument, preferably in the form of a test case, may help. 2. Waiting for feedback from the main developer in that area.
Both are quite different. Perhaps these should be split with different labels as well - particularly as the first requires revisions, while the second implies that the patch may be accepted as is.
Anyway, to come back to the point, leaving a patch as 'New' is problematic. 'Pending' is more informative, yet perhaps not descriptive enough to cover patches that stay as 'New' over a 24-hour patch cycle.
