Because Tennessee is after a way to sift through open issues looking for
ones that are not being actively worked on, thus the "Under Dev" status.
Just because an issue "needs [a] patch" doesn't means it is being worked on
currently.

Once the backlog of bugs has been cleaned up and we get into a habit of
triaging new bugs as soon as they come in this won't be quite as necessary.
I believe Tennessee wanted this status to signify that more input is needed
from others originally and to perform triage. Out of the two this one is
needed the least in my opinion.
