That's at least a little nicer. How about the following for status tags:

- Needs Decision : community hasn't decided how to handle this
- Needs Work : PR needs work to meet standards
- Needs Review : PR needs review by someone before being merged

Seems to cover all the bases, but I'm still not certain how useful the 
second 2 are (needs decision *is* useful). 

Mainly, all open PRs are assumed to need review, we shouldn't need to have 
to label them to note that. And who is `Needs Work` directed to? If it's to 
notify reviewers, the tag will still there once it's updated by the 
submitter, so reviewers would have to open the PR to know the status either 
way (and as Joachim pointed out, only core devs can change labels). And if 
it's to notify the submitter, simply commenting what changes need to be 
made is more informative than tagging.

Again, if people feel the tags would be useful, we can keep them. I've made 
my case, but could go either way on this.
