Hmm, "forgotten by author" seems to generally turn into "this has been
in WOA state a long time". Not sure we have a problem representing
that, only with a process for eventually retiring such entries.
Your other three examples all sound like "needs senior developer
attention", which could be a helpful state that's distinct from "ready
for committer". It's definitely not the same as "Unclear".
Yeah, some fine-tuning might be required. But I would be wary of
over-designing too many new states at this point. I think the key idea
is that there ought to be a state that communicates "needs attention
from someone other than author, reviewer, or committer".
