I'll post to ubuntu-motu about it then.

I find the new wording much better; thanks.

I think it's quite fine to have a tag with this purpose, but especially
for someone who hasn't read the description (in a while),
"needs-improvement" may look as if it's redundant with "Incomplete", as
if it suggests that the original report itself needs improving.
Especially since most bugs which are tagged with it will be in
"Incomplete" status, the tag itself should emphasize the fact that a
triager is offering mentoring for triaging bug, rather than the fact
that the bug needs improvement, which is what the status most likely
already conveys.
Thus, I suggest replacing it with an equivalent of
"triage-mentoring-available", which is quite long, but probably still
usable if nobody comes up with a better idea.
I've also edited the description; let me know if it's fine.

You're welcome, and thanks for your attention.
