But seeing a patch row marked as New and for which testbot runs have completed successfully gives no definitive feedback about the actual status. There is no way to differentiate if a patch has been forgotten accidentally, or ignored on purpose (for the benefit of the project) or postponed for later review (in a week or two).
I get that, but what I'm saying is that in either case you're not going to make the patch go in quicker by e.g. sending another three versions of the same patch to the patches list.
The first case is pretty rare, and I don't think having a separate "Forgotten" state would really help there. The second and third case are perhaps more interesting, but not necessarily distinct. It's not so much that when reviewing patches you arbitrarily decide to not look at a patch for two weeks, but rather that if it's e.g. a slow day you may review a couple of patches that you normally wouldn't have bothered with.
