Right, so what can we do about that? Does Needs Review state need to
be subdivided, and if so how?
If it's just that a patch should be in some other state altogether,
we should simply encourage people to change the state as soon as they
discover that. I think the problem is not so much "90% are in the
wrong state" as "each potential reviewer has to rediscover that".
At this point it seems like there's consensus to have a "parking"
section of the CF app, separate from the time-boxed CFs, and I hope
somebody will go make that happen. But I don't think that's our only
issue, so we need to keep thinking about what should be improved.
