I will tend to switch those two above as landing may involve some lag
(pqm or running the full test suite in one or several environments)
which can be used to review.

And a patch ready to land will provide an improvement faster than the
patch reviewed and as such should not be delayed.

    >>> answering user questions

I'm a bit torn with that one and I think it's because it should be
judged by its importance, like bugs are.

    >>> working on in-progress bugs or development
    >>> triaging bugs
    >>> starting new work

Sometimes I feel I never get there :-)
