I find the 'pending' confusing, is it 'pending submission' or 'pending approval'? I'm marking patches in meta-oe with 'Upstream-status: Unknown' as default instead of 'Pending' to make it a bit clearer. And patches marked 'inappropriate' won't go in, it's 'rejected', 'unknown' or 'needs work' in those cases. I'm not going to guess what upstream might think of it, since I can't speak for them.

All patches in OE-core now have an Upstream-status, but how many have an *incorrect* Upstream-status? I suspect only a small percentage, but I think it's worth rethinking the lingo used to be clearer to non-native speakers like me.
