How would you see bugs with patches but without the tag
'patch-needs-work'?

I'd say let's do it the other way round: Bugs with proper patches should
have the tag 'patch-needs-review'. If a developer finds a patch not
acceptable, he can remove the tag. If the patch is good and ready to be
uploaded, he should upload a package with the bug and close the bug. If
he decides it should go to upstream first, replace the patch with
'patch-under-upstream-review' or something.
