Even with script support, I think Daniel's original proposal is far to complex.  The additional information states it would support are corner cases.  Generally all that's needed is patch thought to be good (ready for review - check Tag) and reviewed, needs more work (uncheck the box).

The other states seem to me to be about "Maybe somebody will ...".  I think we can very simply satisfy the needs of virtually everyone with something simple and that's what we should do.
